My first photographs in 2023 were at Hazawa-yokohama-kokudai [Yokohama National University] Station to shoot Sotetsu 21000 Series on a test run on Sotetsu Shin-yokohama Line and Tokyu Shin-yokohama Line, which open at March 18th, 2023. Between Nishiya Station and Hazawa-yokohama-kokudai [Yokohama National University] Station opened in 2019 as a part of Sotetsu–JR Direct Line.
Before the train departed toward Hiyoshi, an electric bell, also used at the other stations on Sotetsu Lines, rang. In the case of the ones toward Shinjuku via Sotetsu and JR through-service Line, a sign melody for JR East Stations, "Kids Station", does.
