There is a freedom of choice system for junior high schools in Chiyoda Ward, and so there are no specific junior high school zones.




Spelling


The current official spelling of the district's name is 霞が関, with が in hiragana; before 1967, it was spelled 霞ヶ関, with a small ヶ. The name of the Tokyo Metro station is spelled "霞ケ関", with a large ケ. All three spellings can still be found by various institutions in the area.
