Izumi Ward extends across 23.51 square kilometers of eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, featuring flatlands and small hills near central-western Yokohama boundaries.

Archaeological findings in Izumi Ward include stone tools from the Japanese Paleolithic period and ceramic fragments from the Jomon period, dating back thousands of years.

The ward maintains traditional Japanese festivals throughout the year while housing modern educational institutions like Ferris University and multiple high schools.

The Sagami Railway Izumino Line connects residents to major districts, with multiple stations serving the ward's population of over 155,000 people.

In 1996, ten American-style housing units were constructed in Izumi Ward as part of the San Diego-Yokohama sister city relationship.
