Kōhoku New Town, Planned residential district in Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama, Japan

The neighborhood spans across multiple sectors with high-rise apartments, traditional housing, shopping centers, and numerous green spaces integrated into its urban design.

In August 1974, the Japanese government initiated Kōhoku New Town as part of the Six Major Projects of Yokohama to address urban expansion needs.

The residential development incorporates modern Japanese architectural principles with designated zones for community gatherings, education facilities, and recreational activities.

The area connects to central Yokohama through the Blue Line subway system, with Center-Minami and Center-Kita stations providing direct access to the district.

Residents benefit from a specialized UR housing system that eliminates traditional Japanese rental requirements such as key money and guarantor fees.
