bookbinding, medical-related industries, and venture companies that collaborate with industry and academia.

■History of Bunkyo Ward

In the Edo period (1590), 432 years ago, Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo Castle and focused on the development of the downtown area.
In Bunkyo-ku, historical shrines and temples such as samurai residences, Denzuin Temple, Gokokuji Temple, and Nezu Shrine were built, and Bunkyo-ku was gradually formed as a town.

During the Meiji era (1816-1912), many of the sites of samurai residences in various regions used for education and military, and in 1877,
 the University of Tokyo opened on the site of the Kaga Maeda Residence.
Since then, Bunky-ku has played a role in promoting academic research and higher education in Japan.
