Chuo-ku has an area of about 10.1 square kilometers, which is called "a town full of charm that shines even if it is small."
Ota-ku, the largest of the 23 wards of Tokyo, is about 60.4 square kilometers, Setagaya-ku, the second place is about 58 square kilometers, and Adachi-ku, the third place is about 53.2 square kilometers, and the average of the 23 wards is about 26.9 square kilometers. Even in comparison, Chuo-ku is certainly small. (It is said that it is the 22nd smallest after Taito Ward. Is it me who think it would have been the smallest one to come here?)
It is often said that Tokyo Dome is ○ in comparison of size, but what happens when you compare this with Chuo-ku? The area of Tokyo Dome is 46,755 square meters, including the building area. In other words, Chuo-ku is equivalent to about 216 Tokyo Dome.
By the way, the largest municipality is Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, with a size of 2,177 square kilometers. This is about 216 pieces from Chuo-ku. Tokyo Dome x 216 = Chuo-ku x 216 = Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. It's just a coincidence, but it's a bit interesting.
Don't worry. Various festivals and sponsorship events will be held in Chuo-ku as October approaches when autumn is coming soon.

One of the things that surprised me to live in Chuo-ku is that there are many festivals and events anyway, for me who moved to several municipalities due to moving or relocating. For example, when I was a child who lived in Saitama, when I was a child, I only remember the summer festival at the end of July, so it's surprising that there are so many festivals with stalls.
I lived in Osaka City, the home of the Tenjin Festival, one of Japan's three major festivals, but there were not many festival events as one ward.
If you have a lot of effort or access to such an environment, I would like to go out every day and enjoy it to the fullest!
・・・ ・ While there are various indicators, if you say "the number of festivals per unit area", I think Chuo-ku is the best in Japan in local governments, but what about?
