Yokohama City: Join the "Pokémon Pikapika-dan" Cleanup Event Dressed as Pikachu in the Seya Station Area on May 23 (Sat)!

Pokémon Pikapika-dan: Clean the city dressed as Pikachu!

Yokohama City designates areas where promoting a clean and beautiful city is particularly necessary as "Beautification Promotion Priority Areas" (Bikaju). In cooperation with local residents, businesses, and organizations, the city implements various initiatives contributing to urban beautification, such as cleanup events and awareness campaigns.

Yokohama City and the Pokémon With You Foundation signed a partnership agreement in 2022 regarding child-rearing support and next-generation development utilizing content. Since then, as part of their initiatives, they have been working to raise interest in environmental issues.

Starting last year, Yokohama City, as the organizer, has collaborated with the Foundation to implement cleanup events titled "Pokémon Pikapika-dan" in the city's beautification priority areas, where participants dress as Pikachu to pick up trash.

Following events held last year in Tsuzuki Ward, Midori Ward, and Nishi/Naka Wards (jointly held), this will be the fourth installment, taking place in Seya Ward.

With 300 days remaining until the opening of the Yokohama Green Expo, we look forward to many applications to further foster momentum for creating a clean city.
