About approach of Katabuki district

In October 2012, an organization was established in the Katabuki district to consider appropriate means of transportation for local communities based on the Road and Highway Bureau Regional Transportation Support Project. Over the next four years, regional organizations, bus operators, and Yokohama City have been engaged in activities to realize the necessary transportation services in the area.
