Nishi-ku, Administrative ward in Kobe, Japan
Nishi-ku extends across 138 square kilometers in the northwestern section of Kobe, featuring both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts within its boundaries.
The ward system of Kobe, including Nishi-ku, underwent significant reorganization in 1994 when electoral districts were established to improve local governance structures.
Local festivals throughout Nishi-ku bring together over 230,000 residents who participate in traditional ceremonies and share regional customs throughout the year.
The ward office provides essential administrative services to residents while maintaining connections to central Kobe through an extensive public transportation network.
Nishi-ku contains both dense urban areas and natural spaces, with its elevation changes offering different perspectives of the surrounding Kobe landscape.
