Sawara-ku, Administrative ward in Fukuoka City, Japan.
Sawara Ward extends over 95 square kilometers of land, making it the most extensive administrative division within Fukuoka City's municipal boundaries.
The establishment of Sawara Ward occurred on May 10, 1982, when the former Nishi-ku district was divided into three separate administrative sections.
Multiple educational centers shape the intellectual environment of Sawara Ward, including Seinan Gakuin University and Fukuoka Dental College, which attract students nationwide.
The district connects to other parts of Fukuoka through two subway lines, the Kūkō Line and Nanakuma Line, with stations at Nishijin and Fujisaki.
The Momochihama area within Sawara Ward contains both the Fukuoka Tower and the Fukuoka City Museum, forming a central cultural and architectural zone.
