YCVB
As part of Yokohama’s move to take the lead on sustainable urban development, the Yokohama Convention & Visitors Bureau (YCVB) is reaffirming the city’s sustainability ideals and commitments by creating new programs for convention organizers and participants.
These YCVB programs are designed to take sustainability from ideal concept to practical application.
Sustaining Tradition
The first of many projects is the creation of traditional Japanese wooden tearooms that are portable and can be easily erected in conference or event settings. The tearooms are constructed using miyadaiku carpentry, a traditional form of carpentry that can be seen at historic shrines, temples, and teahouses across Japan. This project is a reminder that structures made from renewable materials can sustain both the craft and its aesthetics for future generations.
The prefabricated tearooms continue an artisanal craft 1,400 years in the making—one that is inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list (as of 2020).
Yokohama: Blue, Green, and Much More in Between
Yokohama aspires to embody sustainability, taking advantage of its many natural attractions from the green expanses of its abundant public spaces to the blue waters of its historic harbor. These new YCVB programs reflect Yokohama and its culture, creating synergy between the city and convention planners and participants.
A short film reveals the continued importance of sustainability to the Yokohama, as a city built in harmony with the natural environment, now, and for the future.

Kioxia Develops Core Technology that Will Allow the Practical Implementation of High-density, Low-power 3D DRAM12.12.2025 06:24:00 CET | Press release
Showcase the technology of highly stackable oxide-semiconductor channel transistors Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced the development of highly stackable oxide-semiconductor channel transistors that will enable the practical implementation of high-density, low-power 3D DRAM. This technology was presented at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) held in San Francisco, USA, on December 10, and has the potential to reduce power consumption across a wide range of applications, including AI servers and IoT components. In the era of AI, there is growing demand for DRAM with larger capacity and lower power consumption that can process large amounts of data. Traditional DRAM technology is reaching the physical limits of memory cell size scaling, prompting research into the 3D stacking of memory cells to provide additional capacity. The use of single-crystal silicon as the channel material for transistors in stacked memory cells, as is the
