The Tsurumi River, Onda River, Umeda River, etc. flow through the ward, and rural scenery spreads around it. In addition, there are Shinji Citizen's Forest where the satoyama landscape, which is said to be the original scenery of Yokohama, as well as lush forest areas and parks such as Miho Citizen's Forest, Ueyama Fureai Forest, Prefectural Shikinomori Park, and Kitahassaku Park. You can see fireflies flying around, and you can also hear frog singing voices from paddy fields where rice grew lushly. While being in the metropolis of Yokohama, you can experience the rich natural environment. There are four stations in the ward: Kamoi, Nakayama, Tokaichiba and Nagatsuta on the JR Yokohama Line.
