Tsukimidai Nariwai Housing
旧市営田浦月見台住宅は、JR田浦駅から徒歩約10分、「の」の字を描く坂道を上り切った先にある東京湾を望む高台に位置しており、敷地面積13,653㎡、全58戸の平屋建て住宅群でした。
The former municipal Tsukimidai Housing in Taura was located on an elevated hill overlooking Tokyo Bay, about a 10-minute walk from JR Taura Station, at the top of a winding road shaped like the Japanese hiragana "の." The site comprised a cluster of 58 single-story houses spread over 3.3 acres.
市営住宅が建設される以前、この一帯は畑地として利用されていました。さらに時代をさかのぼること約700年前、この地には鎌倉幕府の家臣の下屋敷があったと伝えられています。また、お殿様がここで月見をしたことから、「月見台」と呼ばれるようになったという説があります。この丘陵上の平地は「城の台」とも呼ばれ、地元の人々はいまも親しみを込めてこの場所を「しろんだ」と呼びます。
Before the construction of the municipal housing, the area was primarily farmland. Going back approximately 700 years, it is said that a vassal of the Kamakura shogunate had a secondary residence here. One theory holds that the name "Tsukimidai" (“moon-viewing terrace”) comes from the local lord enjoying moon gazing from this spot. The flat land on this hill is also known as “Shironodai” (“castle platform”), and to this day, locals affectionately refer to the area as “Shironda.”
長浦湾を見晴らすこの眺望の良い土地も、戦時中は兵舎や砲台が置かれ、一般の立ち入りは制限されていました。
戦後の1960年、横須賀市によって市営住宅として開発され、多くの人々が暮らす地域となりましたが、2020年度に市が計画的な廃止を決定。以降は無人の状態が続いていました。
Although now appreciated for its scenic views across Nagaura Bay, during WWII the area was off limits, and occupied by military barracks and gun batteries overlooking the bay.
In 1960, the City of Yokosuka developed the area into a municipal housing complex, and it became a thriving residential community. However, in fiscal year 2020, the city decided to phase out the housing, and it has remained uninhabited since then.
2023年に旧市営田浦月見台住宅の活用事業者として株式会社エンジョイワークスが選定され、官民連携事業として空き家のままとなっていた住宅と周辺空き地を、店舗と住居を兼用した「なりわい居住のまち」として再生することになりました。
In 2023, ENJOYWORKS Co., LTD was selected as the official revitalization partner for the former Tsukimidai Housing. Through a public-private partnership, the once-vacant houses and surrounding unused land are being reborn as a “Nariwai Living Town” — a community where homes double as small businesses, integrating daily life and work.
”Nariwai Housing” is the cornerstone of the Tsukimidai redevelopment project, encapsulating a lifestyle where living, working, and creating coexist harmoniously.
NARIWAI / なりわい, a Japanese term meaning “livelihood” or “one’s way of life,” represents a lifestyle where living, working, and creating are seamlessly integrated. This innovative concept transforms traditional housing into spaces that inspire both productivity and creativity.
