Minato, Tokyo

Minato is located southwest of the Imperial Palace and has boundaries with the special wards of Chiyoda, Chūō, Kōtō (in Odaiba), Shinagawa, Shibuya, and Shinjuku.

The ward was founded on 15 March 1947, with the merger of Akasaka, Azabu, and Shiba Wards. Various names were considered for the new ward, such as Atago, Aoyama, Aoba, Iikura, Mita, and Higashiminato. Higashiminato was chosen, meaning "East Harbor", but then Higashi was cut leading to the name Minato, simply meaning "harbor".{{CN|date=January 2024}}

Per Japanese census data, the population has recently begun rising after decades of rapid decline.{{Historical populations|1950|216,120|1960|267,024|1970|223,978|1980|201,257|1990|158,499|2000|159,398|2010|205,131|2020|260,486|align=none|source=Censuses{{Cite web|url=https://www.stat.go.jp/english/index.html|title=Statistics Bureau Home Page|website=www.stat.go.jp}}}}
