Special ward in Kantō, Japan
Setagaya (世田谷区 Setagaya-ku Setagaya City or theCity of Setagaya ) is aspecial ward in theTokyo Metropolis inJapan . It is also the name of a neighborhood and administrative district within the ward. Its official bird is theazure-winged magpie , its flower is thefringed orchid , and its tree is theZelkova serrata
Setagaya has the largest population and second-largest area (afterŌta ) of Tokyo's special wards. As of July 1, 2023, the ward has an estimated population of 940,071, and a population density of 16,194 persons per km2 with the total area of 58.06 km2 .
As of 2023, the female life expectancy in Setagaya is 88.9 years.[ 1]
Setagaya is located at the southwestern corner of theTokyo's special wards and theTama River separates the boundary between Tokyo Metropolis andKanagawa Prefecture .
Residential population is among the highest in Tokyo as there are many residential neighbourhoods within Setagaya. Setagaya is served by various rail services providing frequent two- to three-minute headway rush-hour services to the busiest train terminals ofShinjuku andShibuya as well asthrough service trains which continue travelling on to theTokyo Metro lines providing direct access to the central commercial and business districts. Most rail lines run parallel from east to west and there are no north to south rail services within Setagaya, except forSetagaya Line light rail.
The ward is divided into five districts. These are Setagaya, Kitazawa, Tamagawa, Kinuta and Karasuyama. The main ward office and municipal assembly (city hall) is located in Setagaya District, but other districts also have their own branch ward offices as a part of the administrative structure. Each branch office provides almost identical services as the main office, but does not provide the services related to municipal assembly.
Most of the land is in theMusashino Tableland . The parts along the Tama River to the south are comparatively low-lying.
The special ward of Setagaya was founded on March 15, 1947.[ 2]
During theEdo period , 42 villages occupied the area. With theabolition of the han system in 1871, the central and eastern portions became part of Tokyo Prefecture while the rest became part of Kanagawa Prefecture; in 1893, some areas were transferred to Tokyo Prefecture. With the establishment of Setagaya Ward (an ordinary ward) in the oldTokyo City in 1932, and further consolidation in 1936, Setagaya took its present boundaries.
During the1964 Summer Olympics , the district of Karasuyama-machi in Setagaya was part of theathletics marathon and 50 km walk event.[ 3]
