Security Guard Services in Yokohama
Retail in Yokohama is concentrated around Yokohama Station, with Yokohama Takashimaya and Sogo Yokohama, and in the Minato Mirai 21 district, with Yokohama Landmark Plaza, while street-front stores line Motomachi Shopping Street. Company head offices, research and development centers and office buildings are clustered in Minato Mirai 21 and Kannai, and international conferences and exhibitions are held at Pacifico Yokohama.

Security Considerations in Yokohama
Several rail lines serve Yokohama Station, and department stores, station buildings and underground shopping streets are connected by passageways, so stores have many entrances and foot traffic changes sharply by time of day. In Minato Mirai 21, commercial facilities, offices and hotels often share the same building or adjacent blocks, so the division of roles between facility-wide security and tenant security must be clarified in advance.
On days when cruise ships call at the Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal, tourist numbers rise around Yamashita Park, Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi, and there are times when directions in English are needed. Stations and sidewalks nearby become congested before and after concerts and games at K-Arena Yokohama and Yokohama Stadium. Waterfront districts face strong winds during typhoon season, so checks of outdoor signage and entrances should also be included in plans.

Common Questions
Can Security Be Requested for Events Held at Pacifico Yokohama or K-Arena Yokohama?
Large venues have their own security arrangements and rules, so officers assigned on behalf of an organizer or exhibitor are coordinated after the venue’s rules are confirmed. The areas, hours and number of officers are confirmed and set out in the proposal.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the requirements of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
