BRANCH Yokohama Nanbu Market’ Commercial Complex

BRANCH Yokohama Nanbu Market’ Commercial Complex

After being discontinued as a central wholesale market in 2015, this commercial facility was opened in September 2019 as a part of the Nanbu Market Restructuring Project. Built around the concept of "a live food market and center for exchange where people can connect with the local community through food", it houses stores selling fruits and vegetables, fresh fish, and meat, as well as bakeries and Western and Japanese restaurants. There is also a grassy plaza with a view of the sea, a rental space called 'Nanbu Base' with a kitchen attached, and an outdoor BBQ area, all making for a comfortable place for relaxing with family and friends. We will continue to strive to be a place loved by the whole community.

Itsukushima Shissei Park

Itsukushima Shissei Park

Itsukushima Shissei Park, in Kanagawa Prefecture, was built to restore and preserve wetland (which is considered rare because of the freshwater produced there). Inside the park, there is a large pond surrounded by greenery. There is a wooden walkway that stretches over the pond, and visitors can freely walk on it whilst enjoying the surrounding plants. Fireflies can be spotted over the pond in summer, which makes the park a popular spot for firefly viewing.
