Naka-ku

Located in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, Naka-ku encompasses 20.86 square kilometers with northern low-lying districts and elevated grounds in the central area.

The area transformed significantly in 1859 when the Kanagawa Treaty established Yokohama as a treaty port, leading to the development of foreign settlements.

The ward maintains a diverse population with international residents forming 10 percent of its community, creating a multicultural environment in eastern Yokohama.

The Naka International Lounge provides essential services for foreign residents, offering guidance materials in multiple languages including English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.

Yamashita Park, created in 1930, incorporated debris from the Great Kanto earthquake as landfill material to establish a waterfront recreational space.
