Yokohama Park — Attraction in Yokohama

After Chinatown left me full of buns and existential questions, I wandered here and immediately felt like I’d entered a Studio Ghibli forest scene… minus the radish spirit. There’s: • Shade so deep it makes you wonder why you didn’t come here first instead of sweating your dignity away in Chinatown’s crowded alleys. • Beaches? Well, pebbly creek edges that felt beachy enough for me. I briefly considered sunbathing like a koi carp but decided not to traumatize local children. • Wildlife galore: black crows strutting around like they pay property tax, pigeons living their best thug life, and dragonflies on a diplomatic peace mission.

Overall vibe: Peaceful. Bubbling stream, rustling leaves, and occasional toddler shrieks echoing through the bamboo fences. You can sit on a bench and contemplate life’s mysteries or just people-watch – equally meditative.

Pro tip: Bring iced coffee and a snack. You’ll want to stay longer than expected, especially if you snag a shady bench with a creek view. Also, beware of the crows – they have opinions.

If you need a reset button after Chinatown’s culinary chaos, Yokohama Park is your tranquil respawn point. 10/10 would escape here again to commune with nature and...

A very nice (very) small park with several water features, benches, and walkways that is just a few minutes walk away from Chinatown and next to the stadium. Although this park is very small and lacks the amenities of larger parks I give it 5 stars because it is simple, accessible, and is an oasis of peace and quiet. There is a pond (a metal fence prevents children falling in) and several stone benches scattered around. The nicest thing is the fact that although it is small it is highly designed and sculpted. Small streams criss-cross the park, flanked by the occasional stone lantern. Don't visit this park if you are expecting a large park with expansive manicured lawns to sit on. DO visit if you need a breather from the crowds and bustle of China Town and you are happy just to sit and relax surrounded by trees. When I visited it was not crowded but seating is limited as the park itself is small. Any time I visit China Town I'd consider this a possible stop...

The beauty of Yokohama Park is well known as it is full of blooms all year round, cherry blossoms and tulips can be seen at the park the minute you walked in the vicinity. Yokohama stadium is located just a stone throw away. The entire park is enveloped with blissful joy as we look up to enjoy the Hanami while we bend down to zoom our view and admire the colourful tulips, red, purple, yellow, pink, just name it, you’ll have it. I spent a good half of my morning just sit around from bench to bench, enjoying the breeze on a beautiful spring weekend! It’s no wonder I started to see crowds after 9am onwards. Joyful look in adults and young toddlers or even silver generations alike and our furry buddies, immersing themselves in a wonderful morning during this spring! Take a stroll down the park and feel the morning...
