Nishi-ku, Fukuoka
Ward in Kyushu, Japan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nishi-ku (西区) is one of the seven wards of Fukuoka City, Japan. Meaning literally "west ward," it is bordered to the east by Sawara-ku, and to the west by Itoshima. As of 2003, it has a population of 173,813 people and an area of 83.81 km2. As of 2016, its population had increased to 206,000 people.

At the time of Fukuoka City's official designation as a City in 1972, Nishi-ku covered a larger area than it does today. On May 1, 1982, Nishi-ku was subdivided into the three smaller wards of Nishi-ku, Sawara-ku and Jōnan-ku.
