Nishi-ku, Administrative district in Yokohama, Japan

The ward spans 7.04 square kilometers and contains both low-lying areas near Yokohama Station and elevated terrain in its northern and southern sections.

The territory became an independent ward on April 1, 1944, previously containing sections of the Tokaido highway post stations Kanagawa-juku and Hodogaya-juku.

The ward integrates traditional Japanese administrative functions with modern urban development, featuring both municipal services and commercial establishments.

The ward office operates on weekdays from 8:45 AM to 5:00 PM and select Saturdays, providing essential services like family registration and tax processing.

Within this compact ward stands the Yokohama Landmark Tower, measuring as the second tallest structure in Japan and defining the Minato Mirai skyline.
