Midori Ward Barrier-Free Basic Concept

In Yokohama City, based on the Barrier-Free Law, we have created a basic concept to promote barrier-free access so that stations and facilities can be used in areas centered on Nagatsuta Station, Nakayama Station, and Kamoi Station in Midori Ward. In the future, each company will create a business plan based on this basic concept, and will implement the business sequentially.
