A nice park for an evening walk. Walked along the seaside and saw the iconic Hikawa Maru ship docked by the harbor. In distance, we spotted the glowing Minato Mirai ferris wheel
I came to this park because it was represented in the video game "Yakuza: Like A Dragon". It looks quite similar (with a few minor differences). Even in winter when plants aren't really blooming and it's freezing cold, this park still has its beauty and charm.
Yamashita Park (山下公園) is Yokohama's most iconic seaside park, stretching approximately 750 meters along the waterfront. Opened in 1930, it was famously constructed using the landfill from debris following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. Today, it serves as a scenic green retreat offering panoramic views of the Port of Yokohama, the Yokohama Bay Bridge, and the Minato Mirai skyline.
I came here on my last day of my trip to Japan. Glad I did! Wonderful quiet place and with such an amazing weather, it was an enjoyable walk. Not far from central Tokyo if you take the train and it’s so soothing.
Lovely!
Nice little park! Wish I could be here at night to see how this place lights up! They had a "Moveum" exhibit by Toyota, but I was a little intimidated to go in. Very beautiful park by the ocean!
