Center-Minami Station is served by the Blue Line and the Green Line of the Yokohama Municipal Subway, connecting to Yokohama in about 18 minutes and Shin-Yokohama in about 10 minutes. The South Wood shopping complex stands in front of the station, and the Tsuzuki Ward Office is only a few minutes' walk away - a real advantage for foreign residents, who can complete procedures such as residence card matters and resident registration close to the station. Developed as the core of the planned Kohoku New Town, the area has continuous promenades and green space, while the Yokohama History Museum and the Otsuka-Saikachido Site Park offer a look into Japan's ancient history. Large supermarkets and drugstores are concentrated near the station, making groceries and daily necessities easy to find. Bus routes run from the station to destinations across Yokohama, so you can get around widely without a car. Rents are also more affordable than in central Tokyo.
