A New Social Hub in Minatomirai Starting with "Hello!". "Hello! Sympho" Event Where Adults and Children Can Get Enthusiastic at Yokohama Symphostage, Held on Saturday, May 30, Sunday, May 31, and Tuesday, June 2, 2026!

If we exchange greetings with "Hello!", this place will become an even more enjoyable "social gathering place".

We will hold the "Hello! Sympho" event, where adults, children, and workers in the vicinity can enjoy themselves, on the open plaza of "Yokohama Symphostage," a large-scale mixed-use facility in Minatomirai.

On the weekend of May 30 (Sat) - 31 (Sun) from 11:00-17:00, we will host "BOOK PICNIC & MARKET" for families to relax. On June 2 (Tue), which marks Yokohama Port Opening Anniversary, from 16:00-20:30, we will hold "AFTER WORK CHEERS & TALK" for workers to enjoy toasts and interaction after work.

We hope that this place in Minatomirai will become a "place where everyone develops affection." We want to nurture this new social gathering place together with neighboring companies, local restaurants, and artists based in Yokohama. With this in mind, we are starting this event.
