If you’re in Yokohama, Yamashita Park is really worth a visit! It overlooks the vast Yokohama Harbor, and walking along the waterfront with the pleasant sea breeze while watching ships slowly pass by made me feel completely relaxed.
The park has a beautiful rose garden and fountains, as well as the cute “Girl with Red Shoes” statue and the Hikawa Maru docked offshore. It’s more than just a tourist attraction—you can also get a feel for Yokohama’s laid-back everyday life. You’ll often see locals picnicking or sunbathing on the grass, and sometimes there are even street performers.
After exploring nearby Chinatown, coming to Yamashita Park to enjoy the sea breeze is so relaxing!
