About Nanko temporary floating pier
Background of installation
In the area around Yokohama Station, "Excite Yokohama 22" was formulated in December 2009 as a guideline for town development through public-private partnerships, and the priority project "Water Town Project" ensures flood control safety appropriate around Yokohama Station. At the same time, we aim to create attractive hydrophilic spaces that make use of rivers and the sea.
The Nanko Temporary Floating Pier was installed in Saiwai River in fiscal 2011 to take advantage of the water surface, which is a valuable resource around Yokohama Station, through initiatives and events in various fields such as disaster prevention, the environment, and revitalization of towns.
Examples of initiatives
At the floating pier, since its establishment in FY2011, we have verified support activities such as transporting goods using water routes in the event of a disaster caused by a large-scale earthquake, and implemented disaster prevention activities such as rescue drills as a countermeasure against flood accidents caused by falling water to rivers.
In addition, as part of the area management activities, we conducted clean-up kayaks, water quality and biological surveys, etc., and conducted activities that led to the revitalization of the environment, education, and towns.
