Hiyoshi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hiyoshi (日吉) is a part of the city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is located within Kohoku Ward in the northeast of Yokohama City.
It is served by the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Hiyoshi Station. It is approximately 22 minutes away by train to Shibuya, and 15 minutes to Yokohama, being located between Moto-Sumiyoshi on the north and Tsunashima on the south. The Limited Express does not stop in Hiyoshi.
Hiyoshi is the home of Keio University's Hiyoshi campus [1], the freshman/sophomore campus, as well as Keio Business School [2]. The main part of Hiyoshi Campus is located directly to the left of the station exit across Tsunashima Kaidō. The campus sprawls over a low hill and is most remarkable for the many tall trees growing there.
The town shopping district is on the opposite side of the station, the west side. The town's main thoroughfares run out from the station's Nishiguchi Square like the spokes of a wheel, though the direction of traffic is generally toward the station. Sun Road runs north (traffic south). Hamagin Dōri runs northwest. Chuō Dōri runs out to the west (traffic east). And, Futsubu Dōri comes in toward the station from the southwest.
