Suruga-ku

Suruga-ku is an administrative ward in Shizuoka that covers a large area along Suruga Bay. The ward is bordered by other city districts and contains an administrative center that provides services for its residents.

The ward was created in 2005 when Shizuoka received the status of a government ordinance city and reorganized its administrative structures. This marked a major step in the administrative development of the region.

The ward is home to schools and facilities that serve different communities, including international educational options for families. These institutions shape the social life and reflect the diversity of people living here.

The ward is crossed by two major rivers that shape its geography and structure. When visiting, you should be aware of which areas are accessible and how local infrastructure is organized.

The ward is shaped by two important river systems that have influenced local geography and settlement for centuries. These waterways are more than just geographical features; they shape how people navigate and use the space.
