Asa District consisted of Gion-cho [ja], Yasufuruichi-cho [ja], Sato-cho [ja], Numata-cho [ja]. After being merged with Hiroshima in 1973, this ward was named Asaminami-ku. The largest station of Astramline, a new traffic system, is in Asaminami-ku. This system brought population inflow.[citation needed]
As of January 1, 2018, the ward has an estimated population of 245,475, with 101,941 households and a density of 2094 persons per km². The total area is 117.24 km².[2][1]
Hiroshima Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Gion closed its doors in 2003.
Former Sato-cho [ja], now a part of the ward, has been a major production area for Hiroshimana [ja] since Meiji era. Hiroshimana is a variety of Chinese cabbage and is the main material used for making Hiroshimanazuke (literally "pickled Hiroshimana").[3][4][5]
In August 2014 many people died in a landslide after very heavy rain.[6]
