Area information of Bunkyo
Area outline
Bunkyo ward in Tokyo has an area of 11.29 square kilometers and has 200,000 residents. There are many residential areas, but it has great transportation and businesses. During the day it holds 300,000 people, which means that 100,000 people are coming here from outside the ward to work or study.
This area is quite old, and there are 28 archaeological sites in Bunkyo that date from the prehistoric Jomon period, which means that people were living here from 18,000 years ago. In the Edo period, Bunkyo was the site of the daimyo residence of the Maeda clan of Kaga domain, but today it is the site of one of Japan's most prestigious universities. The Meiji period saw many publishing companies spring up around Bunkyo, which attracted authors like Natsume Soseki, Ichiyo Higuchi, and others, and this publishing and writing tradition continues in the ward to this day.
After the mergers of Koishikawa ward and Hongo ward, the name of the ward was changed to "Bunkyo" -- literally, "the capital of writing"--the meaning of which reflects the scholarly pursuits of the ward's colleges and publishers.
