To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Yokohama port and stimulate local shopping areas, more than 100 shopping areas in Yokohama on Saturday kicked off a sales event linked to the number 150.
About 100 people attended the opening ceremony for the event in the Rokkakubashi shopping district near Hakuraku Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line to check out the various 150-linked items on offer.
Realtor Aisaika, for example, was offering a one-room apartment that comes with a rental fee of only ¥150 for July to anyone who signs the contract by the end of this month. The rent is usually ¥50,000.
