東急巴士新羽營業所, Bus depot in Nippa district, Yokohama, Japan.
東急巴士新羽營業所, known as Tokyu Bus Nippa Depot, is a bus operations and maintenance facility located in the Nippa district of Yokohama, Japan. It serves as the base for several bus routes that connect residential areas and other parts of the city.
The depot was established as Yokohama expanded rapidly in the postwar decades and new residential districts needed regular bus service. Tokyu Bus took over and extended its network to serve the growing suburbs on the city's northern edge.
Tokyu Bus is recognized across the region for its red buses, which have become a familiar sight on the streets of Yokohama. The Nippa depot is one of the few places where these vehicles can be seen at rest, outside of their regular routes.
The facility is not open to the public and functions solely as an operational base for vehicle maintenance and dispatch. Passengers looking to use Tokyu Bus services will find stops scattered throughout the surrounding Nippa neighborhood.
The depot sits close to the Tsurumi River, which has historically influenced how the surrounding area developed and how infrastructure was planned. Tokyu Bus itself is part of the broader Tokyu Group, a conglomerate that also operates railways, hotels, and shopping centers across the greater Tokyo area.
