Kita-ku

Kita Ward extends across 20.61 square kilometers of northern Tokyo, featuring residential neighborhoods of Jujo, Akabane, and Oji with numerous parks and rivers.

The region transformed from rural farmland to an urban district after the 1880s when railway connections linked it to central Tokyo's transportation network.

Jujo Ginza shopping arcade contains 180 stores reflecting local traditions, while Asukayama Park holds 650 cherry trees dating from the Edo period.

The ward provides lower housing costs compared to central Tokyo areas, with efficient rail connections through JR East and Tokyo Metro lines.

The Lycée français international de Tokyo's 2013 relocation to Takinogawa has created an international education center in this traditional Japanese district.
