Basic Concept for Barrier-Free Area around Tokaichiba Station

In Yokohama City, based on the Barrier-Free Law, in the district centering on Tokaichiba Station, everyone, including the elderly, disabled, and those raising children, can move smoothly and use stations and facilities. We have formulated a basic concept to promote barrier-free.
In the future, each company will create a business plan based on this basic concept and carry out the project sequentially.

In fiscal 2021, we started to create a basic concept for barrier-free Midori Ward at Nagatsuta Station, Nakayama Station, and Kamoi in Midori Ward.
