English Version
Midoriyama Pass is said to be a place where people have often reported seeing the ghost of a motorcycle rider.
The road is now closed to vehicles and has been turned into a walking path. It runs over a low hill surrounded by residential neighborhoods in Nara-cho, Aoba Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
According to local stories, the road once attracted groups of motorcyclists known as “rolling-zoku,” riders who gathered at night and engaged in reckless, race-like riding. Rumors say there were many fatal accidents as a result, and several small memorial monuments can reportedly be found in the area.
Because this is a residential district and the road is no longer open to vehicles, visitors should stay on public paths, avoid disturbing local residents, and never enter restricted areas or attempt to ride on the closed road.

バイクに乗った幽霊がよく目撃されるという話がある。現在は閉鎖され遊歩道となっている。周りを住宅街に囲まれた小高い丘の上を走る道路だがこの道にはローリング族と呼ばれるバイク乗り達が集まり、夜な夜なレースまがいの暴走行為を繰り広げていたと言う。それに応じて死亡者も多かったようで小さな慰霊碑がいくつかある。神奈川県横浜市青葉区奈良町2065
