| • | Chiyoda (्&#-3804;&#-285;&#-923;&#-3270; -ku) is one of the 23 special wards in the heart of Tokyo, Japan. As of 2005, the ward has an estimated population of 43,954 and a density of 3776 persons per km². The total area is 11.64 km², of which the Imperial Palace takes up 12 percent.
Chiyoda consists of the Palace and a surrounding radius of about 1 km. It inherited the name, literally meaning "field of a thousand generations," from Edo Castle, which occupied an even larger space than it now does. Many government institutions, such as the Diet, Prime Minister's residence, and Supreme Court, are located in Chiyoda, as are Tokyo landmarks such as Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo Station, and the Budokan. Fifteen embassies are located within the ward. Chiyoda is also home to over 36,000 businesses employing over 888,000 people.
