Nagatachō
Nagatachō (永田町, Nagata-chō) is a district of Tokyo, Japan, located in Chiyoda Ward. It is the location of the Diet of Japan and the Prime Minister's residence (Kantei). The Supreme Court of Japan is located in neighboring Hayabusachō. Nagatachō is often used to refer to the elected Japanese government, while Kasumigaseki refers to the unelected bureaucratic administration.
During the Edo period, the area surrounding Hibiya High School and Embassy of Mexico was samurai residences of Kishiwada Domain.

Education
Chiyoda Board of Education [ja] operates public elementary and junior high schools. Kōjimachi Elementary School (麹町小学校) is the zoned elementary of Nagatcho 1-2 chōme.[4] Kōjimachi Elementary was formed from the merger of the former Kōjimachi Elementary and Nagatachō Elementary School (永田町小学校). It began holding classes, in the year 2000, at the former Nagatachō Elementary facility. Its current building opened on April 1, 2003.[5]
There is a freedom of choice system for junior high schools in Chiyoda Ward, and so there are no specific junior high school attendance zones.[6]
