Cosmos is designated
as
Kita-Ku's Flower



During the Yayoi period, lasted from approx. 300BC to 300 AD*, ancient people came from Kyushu and settled down in Kita Ward area.
This is the beginning of the story of Kita Ward.
To tell the truth, I think, there are no significant places to visit in Kita Ward.
However, I visited many shrines, temples and other historical places in line with the recommendation of Kita Ward Office.
*There are different theories as to the period.(ex. from 800BC)
