Yokohama City's Midori Ward stretches from east to west. The Tsurumi River flows east to west, and while the Tsurumi River basin is flat, the southern part is hilly. This hilly area is a thriving residential area. The northern part is also a thriving industrial park, with factories and research and development facilities of major companies. A specialty of this area is the "hama-nashi" pear, which is grown in the area along the Tsurumi River. Access is good, and with several universities, it is also a great environment for raising children. Tourist attractions include Kanagawa Prefectural Shiki-no-Mori Park and Miho Citizens' Forest, and the area is blessed with abundant nature. At Kanagawa Prefectural Shiki-no-Mori Park, you can splash around in the pond.
