Mabori Kaigan, a town with history

Mabori Kaigan is a historic residential area that was once featured in an article in the New York Times on March 3, 1976.
During the period of rapid economic growth in Japan, many families focused on the development of housing in order to acquire their own homes.
There was such a movement in Yokosuka as well, and in 1973, houses were built on land reclaimed from the Mabori Beach bathing beach of the time, and were sold under the brand name "Mabori Sea Heights Luxury Housing".
It has a large plot of land and is beautifully landscaped with flower beds planted with azaleas and camellias facing the road, very similar to a suburban residential area in the United States.

In Mabori Kaigan 1-chome, 15% of all households are single military personnel and military families from the Yokosuka U.S. Naval Base and single military personnel and military families. It's a special area that can't be found anywhere else in Japan, where many people from overseas live. For this reason, the residents of the neighborhood association have formed an "International Friendship Group (KOKUSAI-YUUKOU-BUKAI)" to introduce Japanese culture and events to the Americans, and to make their lives here more comfortable.
If you are planning to live in Mabori kaigan, why don't you participate in the summer festival, rice cake making event, and disaster drills and enjoy living in Japan?

The beginning of Iino Real Estate was also in "Mabori Kaigan"

It was in 1971 that I opened a small real estate office, Iino Fudosan, in Mabori Kaigan. Initially, our office was located in front of the post office adjacent to the site.
At the time of opening, the three members of the family, the founder, his wife, and their daughter, were mainly engaged in rental agency management.
At that time, Iino Real Estate started to handle "base contract" which was not yet a major business in the world. However, at that time, many people were more worried about renting out their houses to foreigners than they are now, and for a long time, there was a shortage of properties for customers who wanted to rent. Therefore, we persevered and continued to search for base rental properties mainly in high-end residential areas such as Mabori kaigan, and gradually increased the number of properties available for lease. We have now relocated our offices to Hinode-cho and Dobuita-dori. Currently, more than 400 groups of people related to the U.S. Navy in Japan visit our office every year, and we are continuously striving to supply high quality properties and provide the best service possible.
