Wards Of Japan




A ku (区), conventionally translated as '''ward''' (but closer to "borough" in normal English use), is a District in a large Japan ese City . Wards are used to subdivide each City Designated By Government Ordinance , as well as Tokyo (where the " 23 Special Wards " have a quasi- Municipal status).

Outside of Tokyo, wards are Local entities directly controlled by the municipal government. They handle administrative functions such as Koseki registration, Health Insurance , and property Taxation . Many wards have affiliated residents' organizations for a number of tasks, although these do not have any legal authority per se.
