Yamashita park is one of the most famous park of Yokohama.
Located at the heart of the city, just in front of the Pacific Ocean (Well, that’s still Tokyo bay), this park is very popular among tourists and families.
There are many fountains and sculptures.
The park is also a home to many weekend activities.
They were holding an international food and craft festival the day I went there!
Hey!
There’s an Indonesian booth!
But… I don’t know why, they were selling Indian American dreamcatcher decorations and feathers ornaments as well as Indonesian souvenirs. Mysterious.
The most popular part of the park is the waterfront.
You can enjoy a wide view on the bay, we recommend you to go there at night or sunset for a date.
Here is Hikawa Maru, a ship who had been transformed into a museum.
If you go to Yokohama, don’t miss the Yamashita park! Chinatown is just 200m away to fill your belly after the walk.
