Midori-ku, Administrative ward in Saitama, Japan
Midori-ku is an administrative ward in Saitama comprising multiple neighborhoods such as Inumakata, Daitakubo, Harayama, Bamba, Matsuki, and Mimuro spread across a relatively flat landscape. These districts include residential blocks, local shops, parks, and small public spaces that serve the daily needs of people who live and work there.
Midori-ku was established as part of post-war administrative reorganization in Saitama. Its creation reflected the period when Japan restructured municipal boundaries to manage urban growth.

The ward benefits from multiple bus routes and rail services that connect it to central Saitama, making commuting straightforward. Visitors can explore the different neighborhoods easily using public transportation.
The ward brings together six separate neighborhoods into one administrative unit, enabling coordination between distinct local communities. This arrangement is typical of how Japan structures larger municipal districts.
