Overview of the harbor area

Ports play various roles as part of the city, such as logistics, production, and relaxation.
In order to fulfill these roles, a certain water area and the land area behind it must be integrated.
Therefore, it is the "Rinko District" that designates such land areas based on the City Planning Act.

In Yokohama City, four subdivisions have been set up in the harbor area: commercial port ward, industrial Minato-ku, Marina Minato-ku, and Shukei Kosei Minato-ku, and the `` Ordinance on Regulations on Buildings in Branch Areas in Yokohama Port Harbor Area '' Prohibits the construction of structures and changes in uses that do not meet the purpose of the division.

"List of usage restrictions for structures" etc. are posted. This pamphlet is distributed by the Port and Harbor Administration Division.
