The Negishi Racetrack Grandstands—a decaying monument that’s seen more action than a sailor on shore leave. Built in 1929 by American architect J.H. Morgan, this place was the playground for Yokohama's elite and foreign dignitaries, including Emperor Meiji, who graced the stands 14 times.

But then came 1942, and the Japanese military decided horse racing was too frivolous for wartime. They shut it down, turned the grandstands into a printing press, and the stables? They became temporary housing for Australian POWs.

Post-war, the U.S. military waltzed in, converting the area into a residential complex known as Negishi Heights. The grandstands served as administrative offices, and the surrounding grounds morphed into a golf course. By 1983, the U.S. handed it back to Japan, and the place has been gathering dust and ghost stories ever since.

Today, the grandstands sit abandoned, draped in ivy and surrounded by fences that whisper, "Keep out." It's a favorite haunt for urban explorers and history buffs, all eager to catch a glimpse of its faded grandeur. The building's future is as uncertain as a gambler's luck, but its past? That's a jackpot of tales waiting to be told.

So, if you're in Yokohama and fancy a brush with history—or just want to see where emperors, generals, and gamblers once rubbed elbows—swing by the Negishi Racetrack Grandstands. Just don't expect to place any bets; the only races here now are the ones run by your...

It’s stunning historic spot in Yokohama just by closed US naval housing. It looks magnificent! It was build before world war 2. Now only this main observation deck is left. But looks got collapsed on some part. Looks a little bit bad condition all over it. I cannot believe such building were here such long time ago. It’s not famous spot in Yokohama but it deserves to one of great historic building...

JR京浜東北根岸線の根岸駅から徒歩で約20分ぐらいにある根岸森林公園(主に北側)より「旧一等馬見所」を見ることが出来る。

平面地図上ではすぐに行けそうだが、実際は山を上ることになる。 (徒歩では階段(慣れないとわかりづらい所にある)か道路を上る)

徒歩以外ではバスや車で行くことも可能。

ただし車で行く場合、この競馬場跡専用の駐車場は無いので、森林公園の有料駐車場を利用する。

横浜競馬場はアメリカの建築家J・H・モーガン氏による味わい深い建物。 東北大学本館や横浜山手聖公会なども同氏による建物。

使われなくなって何十年も経っていることから、植物が壁面に沿って覆われているところや、所々崩落しているところがあり「あぁ、廃墟だな」と思う。

だが、当時の人達も見上げたであろう場所(森林公園側)から眺めると、一般的な廃墟に漂うものとはどこか違う「荘厳さ」に似た気配があるような気がする…(かも?)

外観の写真撮影は可能だが、内部へ入れないように柵があり近接撮影は出来ない。

また、ほとんどの場合、森林公園内からの撮影になるので、撮影時は行き交う人に配慮する必要がある。

天候によって変わる注意点 ・高台にある施設の為か、風がとても強いときがある。帽子や荷物、小さな子供が飛ばされないよう気を付ける。

・急な雷のとき、避難出来る建物が近くには無い。しかし、大きな木が傍にあり、思わず木陰で凌いでしまいそうになるが、雷が鳴っているときは「木陰の誘惑」に負けず、早目早目に避難すること。

建物を見ることが出来る「モーガン広場」には、横浜競馬場(跡)に関する古い資料(当時の写真や建物の見取り図など)を見ることが出来るほか、ベンチもある。

のんびり、ぼーっとしたい人、懐かしさに浸りたい人、古い建物を描きたくて資料集めしてる人、にオススメの場所。

夏の緑豊かな時期に訪れたのは初めてですが、いつ来ても圧巻の面構えで満足度がとても高いです。 いつかオフィシャルに内部を見て回れるツアーなどが出来ればいいなと願っていますが、それまではYMOのPVを観て想像を膨らませておきたいと思います。
