Kohoku Ward Barrier-Free Basic Concept

　In accordance with the Barrier-Free Law, Yokohama City has created a basic concept to promote barrier-free so that everyone, including the elderly, disabled, and those raising children, can move smoothly and use stations and facilities in Kohoku Ward. In the future, each company will create a business plan based on this basic concept and carry out the business sequentially.
