The Totsuka Shopping District in Yokohama, Kanagawa
All over Japan, there are various types of shopping associations in different areas.
A shopping association is an organization of stores and businesses in the retail and service industries within a certain area.
The Totsuka Shopping District aims to create a locally-based community where stores and specialty shops work together to make the town livelier.
The Totsuka Shopping District is somewhat of an unusual shopping association in Japan in that it is comprised of large commercial buildings and shopping streets across the ward, while most shopping associations are made up of small stores in one location.

At the beginning of the video, viewers are introduced to Tomizuka Hachimangu Shrine, the local guardian of Totsuka, which appears every time the children age.
