Hyogo 11th district

Hyogo 11th district (兵庫県第11区 Hyōgo-ken dai-jūikku or simply 兵庫11区 Hyōgo 11-ku) is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan. It is located in Southwestern Hyōgo and consists of the city of Himeji without the former towns of Ieshima, Yumesaki, Kōdera and Yasutomi that are part of the 12th district. As of 2009, 382,491 eligible voters were registered in the district.[1]

Before the electoral reform of 1994, the area formed part of Hyōgo 4th district where four Representatives had been elected by single non-transferable vote.

Since the district's creation, it has been represented by two people: Tōru Toida, the son of former representative and health minister Saburō Toida, and Takeaki Matsumoto, son of former representative and defense minister Jūrō Matsumoto and great-great-grandson of former prime minister Hirobumi Itō.
