Experiment on the use of the promenade of the former site of Toyoko Line

The site of the Toukyu Toyoko Line abandoned line (between Yokohama Station and Sakuragicho Station) is being developed and operated as a pedestrian-only road. On July 16, 2019, for the first time, maintenance of the elevated part (around Sakuragicho Station West Exit Square-Momijizaka Intersection) was completed and put into service.
The area is a promenade connecting stations, and is located between the Minato Mirai area and the Noge / Tobe area, sandwiched between different unique towns, and has the potential to create an attractive space unique to you.
Aiming at a new attractive pedestrian space in the city, experimental events will be held mainly in the service part in order to arrange necessary conditions and issue utilization entities for future utilization and maintenance of undeveloped sections. I did it several times. Based on experiments, we will promote the use of events and other events by various actors.

Experimental events will be advanced step by step while gradually expanding the target area, target, and content.
In the first social experiment, many people first visited the site of Toyoko to learn about the possibility, and to hear your opinions on the possibility of utilization.
