Suruga-ku, Administrative ward in Shizuoka, Japan

Suruga-ku spans 73.06 square kilometers along Suruga Bay, bordered by Aoi-ku to the northeast and Shimizu-ku to the northwest.

The ward became an official administrative division on April 1, 2005, when Shizuoka received its designation as a government ordinance city.

The district maintains a North Korean educational institution, the Shizuoka Korean Elementary and Junior High School, serving the local international community.

The ward houses over 210,000 residents and provides essential civic services through its administrative center at Minami-Yawata-cho.

Two major waterways, the Abe River and Tomoe River, flow through the ward's territory, shaping its geographical characteristics.
