Nakano is bordered by Nerima to the north, Shinjuku to the east, Shibuya to the south and Suginami to the west. Nakano touches Toshima over a short distance to the northeast. The towns of Nogata and Nakano were merged to form Nakano ward in 1932, as part of Tokyo City. Then in 1947 the American occupation reformed the administration, creating Tokyo Metropolis, and Nakano ward became Nakano special ward.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
