context_page_description: Hibiya is a colloquial name for a neighborhood of Chiyoda Ward in Tokyo. The area along Hibiya Street from Yūrakuchō to Uchisaiwaichō is generally considered Hibiya district. Administratively, it is part of the Yūrakuchō district.
  There is no administrative district in Chiyoda called "Hibiya". Hibiya is used in some local place names such as Hibiya Park and Hibiya Station. Hibiya was part of the old Kōjimachi ward in Tokyo City, before it was transformed into a metropolis.
  The outskirts of this district are reclaimed from the ocean, so the name of "hibi" of Hibiya is derived from the facility for the laver of nori made of bamboo whose name is also "hibi". This effectively makes 日比谷 an ateji, kanji characters used to phonetically represent native Japanese words.
