Intricately carved clifftop residential areas in Yato/Walk around the residential area near heaven Hemi Taura, Yokosuka (Kanagawa Prefecture)
Walking through the Residential Areas of Heaven In Yokohama, many people recommended me to walk in Yokosuka, and I was finally able to walk this time. First of all, I would like to give my honest impression.
Yato is a valley topography formed by erosion of hilly land, and is a word called in Kanagawa Prefecture. In Chiba Prefecture, it is called Yatsu, and in the Tohoku region, it is called Yachi. I think that Yokosuka's Yato topography is characterized by narrow valleys, steep slopes, and narrow valleys and ridges. The residential area on the slope is thought to have been developed during the period of high economic growth after the war, and compared to Yokohama, which was fully developed, there are still forests left, and there is a strong sense of coexistence with nature. Impression. On the other hand, the road to the top of the hill is not well maintained, and the valleys are connected by disaster prevention tunnels.
The range I walked this time is from Taura-cho, Yokosuka City to around Kamimachi. The first one starts from JR Taura Station, goes up "Nojizaka", Municipal Housing "Tsukimidai", Jusantoge, Tauraizumimachi, Former Navy Munitions Department Warehouse Group, Anjindai, Yoshikuramachi, Nishi Hemi-cho and Higashi-Hemi-cho.
