explanation: District of Tokyo City located on the south-west of the Imperial Palace, contiguous to Kasumigaseki just over a street. You can find there the most important offices of Japan: the National Diet and the prime minister's office. In a news paper's jargon, Nagatacho means "Japanese central government", too. Administratively speaking, the district belongs to Chiyoda Ward.
