Hiranuma Memorial Gymnasium

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

When you climb the slope from the bottom of Asama to Mitsuzawa, you will find a part surrounded by flowers on the left. ※There is a white building that can be seen as both a pagoda and a control tower. Around here, Hodogaya Ward goes down to the left and Kanagawa Ward on the right is the junction of the three wards.

By the way, this building is Hiranuma Memorial Gymnasium. After the end of the war, Ryozo Hiranuma, who worked hard to rebuild Yokohama as a mayor, also focused on promoting youth sports. It is here that he praised his achievements and gave his name. From the well-maintained building, the shouting of children will not stop all day.

Is this green world with soccer fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, prefectural gymnasiums and anything possible can be said to be an oasis for a few inhabitants?
※Pagoda…Pagodas in Myanmar and other places
