Waterside Protection Association

There are many rivers flowing in the city, and there are many familiar waterfronts such as Ogawa Amenity and Seseragi Green Road.
The Waterfront Protection Association is an organization composed of local residents or volunteers who belong to Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations, shops, schools, companies, NPOs, etc., so that they can comfortably interact with the waterside by preserving the environment of rivers and waterside facilities.

Currently, 99 organizations (as of September 2024) are active.

There is also an introduction to the activities of each group divided by ward. Please take a look from "Introduction of Waterside Protection Association Activities"!

We will form a group of five or more people who belong to Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Associations, shops, schools, companies, NPOs, etc., and submit a notification of the formation of a waterside protection association to the River Planning Division. First, please consult with the Yokohama City Hall River Planning Division (045-671-4215).

We will work on rivers managed by Yokohama City, rivers under maintenance by Yokohama City, and waterside facilities such as Ogawa Amenity and Seseragi Green Road.

We carry out cleaning and weeding activities of rivers and waterside facilities.
One of the activities is to carry out voluntary activities and events using waterside facilities.

（１） Depending on the scale and content of the activity, we will provide support such as granting subsidies. At the end of the activity, please submit a performance report etc.
