It is located at the eastern edge of Tokyo, and bordered by rivers to the east and west and by the Tokyo Bay to the south. The official tree is the camphor tree; the official flower is the azalea.

Many Japanese celebrities have come from this area, including Morning Musume's Maki Goto and KAT-TUN vocalis Kazuya Kamenashi.
