japan walk – The charm of Yokohama Station West Exit | Experience the REAL Japan in 4k
I took a walk in the downtown area of the west exit of Yokohama Station in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. This area is scheduled for large-scale redevelopment by the 2040s. It seems like many people’s memories of the city will be completely changed. Please enjoy it as a virtual walk.
The wave of redevelopment is swallowing up old landscapes and places with memories, and we are looking forward to a future where the next generation of landmarks will be born one after another. Be sure to imprint in your mind the ephemerality of the ever-changing cityscape and the vibrant energy of the city.
After the war, the West Exit of Yokohama Station began full-scale development by the Sotetsu Group in 1952, and facilities such as the Takashimaya Store, Yokohama Meiji Gai, and Sotetsu Joinus were born, and it became a symbol of the area. However, recent redevelopment plans have seen these retro charms disappear in favor of new commercial facilities, mixed-use buildings, and green plazas. This project, which has been accelerating since the 2020s, will bring about a wide range of changes, including the expansion of underground passages and the construction of a new station building. As an “evolving city” where the past and future intersect, Yokohama will become a new tourist destination and the face of a future city.
