What other travelers are saying about Yokohama Park
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 avoid crowds.
I went there on Sunday (Mar 30). It was a nice park. Some types of tulips haven’t been opened yet. The park is located near Sakuragicho where has so many cherry trees along the river.
Located next to the Yokohama stadium this small park is a lovely little oasis with a nice lake and lots of spots to have a coffee in the shade. Even with a baseball game going on it didn’t get too crowded. Not huge but nice to stroll through and look at all the turtles in the lake.
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 joy yourself.
