Chiyoda, Government district in central Tokyo, Japan
The Imperial Palace complex forms the center of Chiyoda, encompassing 22 percent of the district's total area of 11.66 square kilometers.
The district inherited its name from Chiyoda Castle, which served as the residence of Tokugawa shoguns during the Edo period from 1603 to 1867.
The Kanda area within Chiyoda maintains the original commercial character of Edo-Tokyo, while Kojimachi represents the district's upper-class residential section.
Tokyo Station in Chiyoda serves as a major transportation hub, connecting multiple railway lines and providing direct access to different areas of the city.
The district's registered population of 66,680 residents makes it the least populated ward in Tokyo, despite being the center of Japan's political power.
