This detailed walking tour video by the Kanagawa Walk Channel gives viewers an immersive look at Mitsukyo (三ツ境), a neighborhood in Seya Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The walk begins at Mitsukyo Station on the Sotetsu Line, a station whose name reflects the area’s historical division between three old villages.

Continuing along Fujimi-dori, surrounded by residential neighborhoods, the guide heads toward Mitsukyo Park—a tranquil, flower-filled space that retains a peaceful ambiance even under the overcast spring sky. The walk also visits Mitsukyo Dai-5 Park, another local green area lined with flower beds.

One of the focal points of this walk is Nagayamon Park, a location known for its lush greenery and historical significance as the former site of a silk mill. The park is notable for its traditional Japanese gate and an amenities area beside a small stream (Ogawa Amenity).
