Chiyoda ku 千代田区 Chiyoda ward
"Fields of Eternity"
- quote
It was formed in 1947 as a merger of Kanda and Kōjimachi wards following Tokyo City's transformation into Tokyo Metropolis. The modern Chiyoda ward exhibits contrasting Shitamachi and Yamanote geographical and cultural division. The Kanda area is in the core of Shitamachi, the original commercial center of Edo-Tokyo. On the other hand, the western part of the Kōjimachi area typically represents a Yamanote district.

- quote
The area that comprised the grounds of Edo Castle is roughly that of modern 千代田区 Chiyoda Ward. The name of the area predates the Edo Period. In fact, the original name of Edo Castle was Chiyoda Castle since it was built in the Chiyoda area of the small fishing village, Edo.
The kanji 千代 (sendai or chiyo)
means something like "1000 generations." The kanji 田 tanbo (rice paddy) can also refer to 田園 denen (something like cultivated fields or fertile district). The name is very auspicious and conveys an idea of "Fields that can feed people for eternity."
In 1547, Ōta Dōkan
chose the Chiyoda area to fortify and build what would eventually become Edo Castle. He was killed in 1486 and the castle fell into disuse.
In 1590,
the imperial regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi transferred Tokugawa Ieyasu and his clan to Edo. Ieyasu renovated the derelict castle and built it up. After Ieyasu was made shōgun in 1600, the castle soon became the largest and most important castle in Japan. By this time Edo wasn't a backwater village, but a thriving city of which Chiyoda was just one small part.
So the name Edo Castle superseded the original name. ...
