A unique town near Tokyo where three generations can live together has been attracting attention as it offers a new way to prevent communities from falling into decline because of the rapidly graying society.
The Mark Springs complex, built in Seya Ward, Yokohama, in March last year on a 5.4-hectare tract, has three condominium buildings and 90 Southern European style housing, accommodating 730 families. It also has a nursing home, clinics, day-care center, park and spa.
The average price of a 90-sq.-meter condo is about 33 million yen and a house on a 130-sq.-meter site is about 55 million yen.
