It's very wide, spacious, and green. There is an obvious effort to keep the park as green as possible. It was very relaxing there and the flowers are gorgeous. But it's not a place for multiple visits. Yet. I don't read Japanese and made the horrible mistake of sitting down on a patch of green that was off limits. Off limits space signs should be in multiple languages. The adventure course is too expensive; hopefully the fee is for unlimited time. Access to the park is inconvenient for those taking public transport. It's an ok place to visit just one time.
Two of my primary objectives were met when I chose to visit Satoyama Garden here in Yokohama, Japan: 1. No entrance fee; and 2. Pet friendly.
Yokohama city took the extra effort to ensure that the park was mostly barrier free making it easy to bring family or friends who rely on wheelchairs to get around.
The slopes in this shot are not that steep, making it easy to push a wheelchair (or a toddler's stroller) around and allow your family member or friend to enjoy the flowers up close!
