We as for everyone’s cooperation and understanding
In the past, a number of residents surrounding the Pacifico Yokohama have complained about noise pollution and wild activity occurring around the show. With everyone’s cooperation, we would like to perpetuate this culture we have in a positive manner, and ask that you consider the surrounding residents by limiting noise, wild activity, burnouts, etc. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
