In fiscal year 2021, Naka Ward will promote a variety of initiatives, with top priority given to taking measures to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we will introduce you to some of our main initiatives for the coming year, which we are taking with the goals of ensuring the safety and security of all Naka Ward residents of and invigorating our community.

For the safety and security of all ward residents, it is essential to improve the disaster preparedness of the community. In addition to conducting drills and deploying supplies based on countermeasures against infectious diseases at evacuation shelters, we will promote the creation of a disaster-resilient community by ensuring that multiple channels are available for the reception and transmission of information in the event of a disaster.

Heatstroke occurs not only in mid-summer, but also in early spring when the body is not used to the heat. To prepare your body for the heat, create more opportunities to sweat through daily light exercise, such as walking.

Exercise moderately from the beginning of the hot season.

Adjust the temperature of your room by using an air conditioner.
Do not overexert yourself on hot days or at the hot times of the day.

Be careful if wearing a mask when the temperature and humidity are high.
If you are outdoors and can maintain a sufficient distance (2 meters or more) from people, take off your mask as needed.

Drink water before you get thirsty. If you sweat a lot, do not forget to replenish your salt levels.

If you feel unwell, take it easy and stay home to rest.

The season of warm sunshine is here. In spring, you can enjoy lots of flowers and fresh greenery in Naka Ward. This month, we would like to share some photos taken at some of Naka Ward most famous places for flowers!

A área ao longo do Rio Ookagawa, que dirige da boca do rio perto de Paço do concelho Yokohama e Estação Sakuragicho (Sakuragicho) pela parte central da cidade Yokohama, conhece-se como um dos melhores lugares de observação de flor de cerejeira em Yokohama.

In Yokohama Koen, where Yokohama Stadium is located, you can enjoy tulip gardens. There are around 120,000 tulips in 70 varieties planted in the park, charming visitors every year with their colorful blooms.

After the cherry blossoms, a variety of flowers come into bloom in Sankeien, such as Japanese yellow roses, azaleas, Japanese irises, and wisteria. The garden looks particularly nice at this time of year, when the new green leaves come out. Here, you can enjoy the ever-changing scenery of flowers.

The English Rose Garden in Harbor View Park is one of the best places for roses in Yokohama. In the Rose and Cascade Garden, which stretches between British House Yokohama and Yamate Bluff No.111, you can enjoy seasonal flowers and grasses.

There are about 80 cherry trees planted in Motomachi Park. Most of these are of the Somei-Yoshino variety, many of which were planted here 50 to 60 years ago. The cherry blossoms and Yamate 80-bankan Ruins, which still retain traces of the former foreign settlement, are a particularly special sight here. In the past, there was a cherry tree in the park that was used as the official standard for judging when the cherry trees were officially in bloom. When this standard tree bloomed, the City of Yokohama officially announced that the cherry trees were in bloom. (In 2014, this standard tree was replaced by one at Yokohama Local Meteorological Observatory because it had become too old.)
Have you ever heard of the cherry trees in Potomac Park in Washington, D.C.? These cherry trees were planted in Potomac Park 109 years ago. There was a woman who loved cherry blossoms very much. Her name was Eliza Scidmore, and she came to Japan in 1884 as a reporter and lived in the Yamate area for three years. Quis recriar o belo cenário de Japão de flores de cerejeira em Washington, DC, portanto aproximou de então primeira-dama dos Estados Unidos, Sra. Taft, and acted as a mediator for the donation of cherry tree seedlings. Eliza Scidmore, who became a bridge between Japan and the U.S., is buried in the Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery adjacent to Motomachi Park, and a cherry tree returned from Washington has been planted nearby. Esta cereja, conhecida como a «Árvore de Scidmore Cherry», é extremamente popular.
