Nishi-ku

Nishi-ku encompasses 114 square kilometers of land in southwestern Hamamatsu, featuring a mix of residential areas and agricultural landscapes with rice fields.

The establishment of Nishi-ku occurred in 2007 when Hamamatsu received its designation as a government ordinance city, marking a significant administrative transformation.

The ward maintains educational diversity through international institutions, including dedicated schools serving Peruvian and Brazilian communities within its boundaries.

Residents and visitors can access Nishi-ku through two major railway stations, Maisaka and Bentenjima, located along the strategic Tokaido Main Line.

The ward extends to Lake Hamana's shoreline, where the Hamanako Road Bridge connects the district to neighboring regions across the water.
