About initiatives in the Kamariya district of Kanazawa-ku

In May 2013, an organization was established in the Kamariya district of Kanazawa Ward based on the Road and Highway Bureau Regional Transportation Support Project to examine appropriate means of transportation for local communities. For about four and a half years, local organizations, bus operators, and Yokohama City have been engaged in activities to realize the necessary transportation services in the area.
