What other travelers are saying about Yokohama English Garden
A 15-20 minute walk from the Yokohama Train Station. Was a cold winters day but happy to see some of the roses were still out. A well maintained garden and some great Christmas decorations were in the garden and able to interact with. Well worth a visit depending on the time of the year.
The garden is stunning throughout the year, but spring and autumn are particularly magical. Spring brings blossoming flowers such as tulips and roses, while autumn dazzles with colorful foliage.
Yokohama English Garden boasts a variety of plant species, including roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and seasonal flowers. The garden's layout emphasizes harmony and color coordination, providing a feast for the eyes.
Absolutely. The garden is family-friendly, with wide paths suitable for strollers and plenty of open spaces for children to explore. It's a great way to introduce nature to kids in a controlled and beautiful environment.
The garden has basic amenities, including restrooms and a small café where visitors can purchase refreshments. The garden also has several benches for resting and enjoying the view.

A beautiful maze of roses with some autumn-color trees too! Not many people at all on a Thursday morning. Enjoyed!
Used the free shuttle bus from Yokohama
Station. Didn’t know there were buses going back to the station (…) and realized we should have checked the returning time in advance.
I can’t decide if 1000 is reasonable or a tad bit expensive for this season… but I must say I was very moved especially by the hanging arrangements!
Best garden for all girls.
I've visited on Tuesday 22 July 2025 when it was not crowded and less people, so I could take a lot pics and enjoyed the garden😂🥰
I paid ¥700 that time. Still not sure how other people on other days paid for ¥1500, maybe also depends to the season/weekend as well.
The garden is around the housing agent area.
They also have a cafe inside the office house and a souvenir store.
Garden is half-full bloomy on this summer, not as spring but you still can take a look of lot of roses and others.
In summer it will be super super hot and make sure you bring lot of water + umbrella + sunscreen + bugs repellent.
The garden also kids-friendly.
Toilets are also available.
DON’T VISIT DURING RAINY SEASON
I came to Japan in June for hydrangeas. That was the entire purpose of my seasonal travel - to experience these vibrant, rain-loving blooms at their peak. When I decided to visit Yokohama English Garden, I expected more than just hydrangeas. I came anticipating a garden that would cater to all flowers in season, not one still clinging to the memory of its rose display.
Unfortunately, the garden is heavily rose-centric in both layout and identity. By late June, the roses had already faded, and what remained were rain-damaged petals and empty trellises. The once-famous Rose Tunnel had lost its magic, reduced to a quiet, green corridor with little life left. It was clear that May is this garden’s true highlight - and outside that, the experience tapers off significantly.
Thankfully, the hydrangeas delivered. With nearly 300 varieties, they were vibrant, full-bodied, and thriving in the overcast, rainy weather. The colours - cool blues, deep purples, soft pinks - were deeply satisfying to witness. I came to Japan for these, and in that sense, Yokohama English Garden didn’t disappoint. But that one success wasn’t enough to overshadow what the rest of the garden lacked.
For the entry price, which remains fairly high even outside peak season, the size of the garden and lack of variety in June left me underwhelmed. There weren’t enough companion plantings or seasonal transitions to make up for the absence of the roses.
The on-site café and souvenir shop were also underwhelming. The floral-themed refreshments were visually charming but overpriced, and the flavour didn’t live up to the aesthetic. Similarly, the souvenirs leaned heavily into generic offerings, without much thoughtfulness or uniqueness behind the price tags.
In short, while I don’t regret visiting - I got exactly what I came to Japan for: hydrangeas - I expected more from a garden with this level of branding and reputation. If you’re visiting in June, come for the hydrangeas alone and set your expectations accordingly.
Yokohama English Garden is one of those rare places that feels like a peaceful pause from the noise of everyday life. Tucked away from the city rush, it’s not massive or flashy, but it’s quietly beautiful the kind of place where everything slows down, even your thoughts.
The garden is thoughtfully laid out, with winding paths, seasonal flowers, and over 1,800 varieties of roses that bloom like something out of a storybook. The air in spring and early summer is sweet and floral, and even in the off-seasons, there’s something soothing about the well-kept greenery and changing colors. It doesn’t feel overly manicured or artificial it just feels calm.
There’s a small café inside where you can sit with tea and look out at the blooms, and if you like photography or sketching, this place is a quiet dream. It's also surprisingly uncrowded on most weekdays, which adds to the charm.
Yokohama English Garden isn’t a big tourist magnet, and that’s what makes it special. It feels personal like a garden that belongs to you, if only for an hour. If you’re in Yokohama and need a gentle reset, this is the place to go.
