Overview of Tsurumi Ward

Tsurumi Ward is located in the northeastern part of Yokohama, consisting of hills in the northwest, lowlands of the Tsurumi River basin, and landfills in coastal areas. The coastal area is mainly industrial areas, and the center is commercial and residential areas, but there are also mixed residential and industrial areas. In addition, the hills are one of the few residential areas in the city where nature is left. Established by Yokohama City in 1927, Tsurumi Ward is not only an industrial area but also as a commercial city and residential city.

The history of Tsurumi was also the history of the battle against the Tsurumi River. In recent years, embankments have been set up, and the remnants of the rampant river have disappeared. In the early modern era, the river line was bustling due to the transportation of the Tsurumi River, prospered by people traveling on the Tokaido, and fishing was thriving. In the Meiji era, its name was known nationwide as a special area of Western vegetables, and seaweed breeding began to take place.

On the other hand, landfills have progressed and factories of large companies representing Japan have entered the market, and have greatly developed as the core of the Keihin Industrial Zone. Efforts are being made.
