The 34 best photo spots in Yokohama

Such a nice place! The walk to get there is very soothing and the building is beautiful. The shops inside sell mostly leather goods, jewellery and home decor but everything has a quality feel to it and many things seem to be made locally. The gourmet section is also great. Highly recommended! And the balcony is a super nice place to just sit and relax a bit…

It was not free to get into the outside food market but do not let that stop you from exploring inside the historic brick warehouse. A few restaurants, the one we decided on was Chano ma and we had no complaints. The service, environment and food was very comfy as they have beds on the wall. Please also stop by the honey stand, The Wharf restaurant and the pie area as well. Just a few more miles away was a fair going on. Do much going on to do in this area.

We happened to pass by the Red Brick Warehouse with friends, and the sea breeze here was absolutely refreshing. Inside the warehouse, you’ll find a variety of creative boutiques and restaurants—perfect for browsing around and spending a leisurely afternoon. You can also enjoy a nice meal while taking in the charming atmosphere. Conveniently, there’s a water bus stop right here, offering a scenic ride to Yamashita Park.

The Red Brick warehouse in Yokohama is one of the most famous tourist attractions. We spent almost three hours here because of the weather. We were there on a rainy day. The indoor shopping has become our favorite spot. The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is essentially a shopping mall featuring numerous restaurants and stores. It is huge. I don't think I had checked out more than half of the shopping center after three hours of walking around. We made some purchases and had drinks and snacks. The shopping experience is good, except it was very crowded all the time.

Let me level with you: the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse looks like it was designed by a graphic designer with a thing for industrial chic and disposable income. On paper, it’s perfect—historic brick architecture, wide open waterfront, and enough boutique shops to bankrupt a small nation. In reality? It’s basically a shopping mall that got tenure. The shops? Overpriced. Like, “We know you’re from a cruise ship and you won’t check the exchange rate” overpriced. Leather handbags, handmade glass, and 800-yen fridge magnets line up with military precision, screaming, “You forgot to bring home a souvenir, didn’t you, Greg?” Now, to be fair, the exterior plaza is gorgeous. Wide open space, clean, breezy, and I can totally see this place transforming during festivals or night markets. You give this place a food truck rally or a jazz fest and it jumps up a full star, maybe two. But when it’s just regular shopping hours? It feels like walking through an Etsy algorithm that learned to charge rent. Would I come back? Yeah. But not for the shopping. I’d come back to watch people, sip a beer, and wait for the kind of overpriced artisan taco that says, “You’re not in Tokyo anymore—you’re in Yokohama, baby.”

I couldn't see much of the exterior because I came at the wrong time—it was nighttime and pouring rain, so this is the only photo I managed to take... But the inside is actually pretty decent for chilling! There are tons of restaurants, and you can grab souvenirs here too. In my opinion, it's way better to buy them here than anywhere else—why? Because they're more *authentic*? Lol, that's the gist of it!

The versatility of Yokohama Red brick never ceases to amaze me. They host a ton of seasonal events throughout the year and it is located near world porters mall and Cosmo world, this place is on the top of the list and will definitely return for another visit.

On Sept 23, 2025, my wife and I came to this waterfront park. Judging from the number of visitors and activities here, the Park was a popular one. We didn’t walk much but took a tour bus from a nearby station - we bought a one-day bus/train ticket for Yen700.

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!

Beautiful park, perfectly manicured. There are a few benches around the gardens to sit and rest your feet. Very quiet here at 4pm on Tuesday 21st October

Very nice park to visit, enough benches and resting place. Amazing view and nice green area to be. Very nice to walk from china town to the red brick warehouses. Loved it. We watched the harbor and it was very chill and surprising

Lovely rose garden and very nice weather. We walk from China Town to Yamashita Park, Yokohama Red Brick warehouse, and Cosmo World. Enjoy the day by walk only. No need to catch the train at all.

Very well maintained open space. Plenty of open grass space for picnic or simply have a nap. It's within proximity to the cruise ship docking port, so super popular with the tourists and visitors. It's a great walk- 5KM and can make your way towards the red brick building which is a hub for food and gifts. Depending on weekends, there might be markets or events. I was lucky to come during a massive dog owner event and all the stores were dog related items for sale. Also nearby there's the ropeway and a large shopping centre. Also a great place for morning running if you have close by accommodation.

We recently visited Yamashita Park and had a wonderful time! The flowers were in full bloom—both beautiful to look at and fragrant as we walked through the park. The weather couldn’t have been better—sunny with a nice breeze off the bay, perfect for a peaceful stroll along the waterfront. The view of the harbor adds a nice touch, and the open space makes it great for families, couples, or even solo visitors looking to relax. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in Yokohama!

Absolutely amazing garden! When initially walking in, you’ll see the biggest Lotus’s you’ve ever seen in your life followed by a huge beautiful pond with large fish, birds and an assortment of turtles. Many buildings were brought to this garden and there is a lot to learn here. It was very hot end of July. I’d recommend a portable fan or umbrella. Price was ¥900/person for adults.

Sankeien (三溪園, or "Three Creeks Garden") is a renowned traditional Japanese-style garden in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Spanning 175,000 square meters (about 43 acres), it's celebrated for its serene landscapes, seasonal beauty, and collection of historic buildings relocated from across the country. Designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty, it offers a peaceful escape with ponds, streams, winding paths, and vibrant foliage changes year-round.

Sankeien is absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of history, nature, and serenity. The garden is beautifully designed with wide ponds, winding paths, and traditional teahouses that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The highlight for me was the three-storied pagoda perched on the hill, a stunning backdrop especially during cherry blossom and autumn seasons. Entrance is 900 for adults…

Beautiful garden and old houses. Looks like Edo world. Enjoy beer in restaurant by the pond. Shuttle buses from Yokohama St operated on Sat and Sun. We took a local bus which was slow. Taxis waits infront of the garden.

Sankeien Garden in Yokohama is one of those places that feels like it belongs in a different time peaceful, spacious, and full of quiet stories. The moment you walk in, it’s like the city fades away. You’re surrounded by traditional wooden buildings, koi ponds, stone lanterns, and wide-open walking paths that invite you to slow down. What makes Sankeien special isn’t just the scenery it’s the history woven into it. Many of the buildings here were brought from Kyoto and other parts of Japan, some over 500 years old. The three-storied pagoda perched on the hill is especially striking, like something out of a woodblock print. It feels almost surreal seeing it reflected in the still water below. Every season has its moment here. In spring, cherry blossoms frame the garden in pink; summer brings lush green and lotus flowers; autumn turns the trees a deep, fiery red; and even in winter, the garden has a quiet charm with camellias and snow-dusted rooftops. You’ll find families with kids, elderly couples, and artists with sketchpads all soaking in the calm. There’s also a small teahouse and a museum area that adds to the atmosphere. It's not flashy or crowded like some tourist spots, but that’s the beauty of it. Sankeien feels personal, like a well-kept secret you’ll want to revisit whenever life gets too loud.

A Summer Escape to Sankeien Garden.. If you're looking for a peaceful break from the energy of Yokohama, you've to visit Sankeien Garden. I arrived arounf 11.30 qnd completely charmed by this place, especially in the summer (which a bit hot). It's not just a beautiful park; it's a collection of history, with a bunch of traditional buildings—old farmhouses, pagodas, even teahouses. I have walked through the paths felt like a journey back in time, with each new structure telling its own story against the backdrop of vibrant green. The whole garden is designed so beautifully. The main pond is a big part of the experience, with the dense summer foliage creating perfect reflections on the water. I could have spent an hour just sitting there, watching the ducks and enjoying the quiet hum of cicadas. The paths wind around, leading you to hidden spots and incredible views. The lush, verdant trees create a natural shade that makes exploring even on a hot day incredibly pleasant. A little tip: make sure you find your way up to the Choshukaku Pavilion. It’s a bit of a slope, but the view is absolutely worth it. It’s the perfect spot to sit and take a moment to soak it all in. The front staff were all so welcoming and the price is affordable 👍🏻

The garden is a real hidden treasure. Very few people are there on a weekday and it is beautiful in every detail. It is full of wonderful old buildings and houses of historical importance. It is a real journey back in time to the 16th century.

Yokohama Cosmo World is a fun and vibrant amusement park located right in the heart of the Minato Mirai area. The park is best known for its giant Ferris wheel, the Cosmo Clock 21, which offers stunning panoramic views of the Yokohama skyline, especially at night when everything is beautifully lit up. It’s a great photo spot and a must-try ride if you visit.The park is divided into zones for different age groups, making it perfect for both families and young adults. There are classic carnival-style attractions like haunted houses, water rides, and roller coasters. I personally went on the pink roller coaster, and it was super fun! It cost 900 yen, and honestly, it was totally worth it. The drops and turns were exciting but not too scary—just the right balance for a thrill without feeling overwhelmed. It also gives a cool view of the park during the ride.

Cosmo World in Yokohama is a delightful surprise tucked right into the heart of the city’s waterfront. It’s a compact but vibrant amusement park that offers something for everyone—from thrilling roller coasters to charming coin-operated rides for the little ones. We stopped by on our way to a nearby wedding venue, and I’m so glad we did! My older kids had a blast on the big rides, especially the roller coasters, which were way more exciting than I expected for a city park. My youngest was enchanted by the tiny kiddie rides and arcade-style machines scattered throughout the grounds. It’s the kind of place where every age group finds their own joy. One of the park’s most iconic features is the massive Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel, which lights up beautifully at night and doubles as a working clock. I didn’t get a chance to ride it this time, but it’s definitely on my list for next visit. There’s also a water ride that was surprisingly dry—perfect if you want the fun without the splash. The location couldn’t be better: right by the water, close to the Yokohama World Porters mall, and surrounded by scenic views. At night, the whole area glows with colorful lights and reflections off the bay, making it a magical spot for an evening stroll. The park opens late—until around 11 PM—which makes it easy to squeeze in a visit even after a busy day. Cosmo World isn’t huge, but it’s packed with charm and energy. Whether you’re traveling with kids or just want a fun detour in Yokohama, it’s absolutely worth a stop.

Very disappointed. Only giving 1 star because you can’t review without it. It was extremely upsetting and shocking to be told blind people can’t go on the rides, even with a person accompanying. We have been on rides all over the world, including other parks here in Japan, with no issue. No reason was given., we were just told no. Japan is a country that welcomes and encourages people with disabilities and usually provides access at every opportunity. There are tactile and Braille everywhere, with wheelchair access freely available to almost every building. It completely baffles us why this amusement park has decided people with a vision impairment are not welcome.

Always open for business. Good price for the rides. Safe and secure and fun.

Cute little pay-per-ride park! We did the haunted house, ferris wheel and 2 of the coasters. The "dive" coaster is currently closed. If you ride the ferris wheel, I highly recommend the cabin with see-through floor. Prices are reasonable.

Good experience and Ambience Yokohama city view evening time Must visit Really Good Atmosphere and Ambience Cosmo Clock 21 Ride experience is amazing

Fun place to come for people of all ages. Nice mix of rides for little children, teenagers, and adults. It was a chilly evening, so not many people were getting on the water rides, but they were still opening. There's also amusement games, shops, and a few places to eat. For the rides, you purchase the tickets at the central ticketing station. There was a long line for the Ferris Wheel, but only lasted about 30-45 minutes. It provided a nice view over Yokohama.

Cool new location for up market retail and restaurant space. There are many such concepts of reviving old buildings into new retail space. It a bit difficult to stand out from the crowd.

Took the SeaBass tour to North Pier very interesting you can often see the USN ships from Minato Mirai but you can’t beat being up close I’d highly recommend

Great place for dog friendly shops, restaurants and cafes. They even have accessories for your loving family (dogs). Designed similar to melrose Los Angeles.

Easy going. Lots of visitors due to Golden Week. Very clean and updated marina shopping mall. All goes to the dogs. It is where dog lovers go on weekend. Everybody bring their pooch with them. There is a dog shop and is a must to go to. It is where you can bring your pooch looking like a top dog with all of the doggie wears and fancy food and toys.

Very neat and we'll maintained place. We have lot of dine in options with bay side sitting, open air shopping malls and bay walking paths. Very romantic place for couples. Night view is awesome from the Marine walk.

Lovely area with nice shops and restaurants

なんと言ってもロケーション良し❗レストランはシロノシー、A16、パイホリックがお勧めです🎵最近おすし屋さんが食べ放題を始めました❗ネタは新鮮で美味しかったですサラダと茶碗蒸しと味噌汁がつきますがこれも食べ放題みたいです✨ ショッピングもできます特に国内2店舗目のCOSが気に入ってます❗イギリスブランドですがミニマルなデザインが素敵です❗ marine＆work→赤レンガ→山下公園→中華街 このコースお勧めです🎵

A walk through Yokohama’s Chinatown turned out to be a real discovery for me. It’s not just a tourist street lined with restaurants and shops, but a whole district with a rich history and an atmosphere all its own. It also happens to be the largest Chinatown in Japan and one of the biggest in the world—you can really feel its scale the moment you pass through the colorful gates and find yourself surrounded by glowing lanterns and the aromas of street food. The story of this place goes back to the 19th century, when Chinese merchants began settling here after the port of Yokohama opened. Over time, they built temples, opened shops and restaurants, and formed a vibrant community. The area was destroyed more than once—first during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and later in World War II—but each time it was rebuilt, coming back even brighter and more lively. Chinatown is especially impressive during the Chinese New Year. The streets fill with music, lion and dragon dances, lanterns light up everywhere, and the entire district turns into a massive celebration. It feels like you’ve stepped into another world. What struck me most was the Kanteibyo Temple—such a beautiful and powerful spot that gives the whole walk a deeper meaning. Chinatown is a place I’ll return to again and again, whether it’s to try new dishes, notice hidden architectural details, or simply soak up the festive atmosphere that seems to live here every day.

Vibrant and delicious cultural experience! Yokohama Chinatown is full of energy, colorful streets, and amazing food! From authentic Chinese restaurants and street snacks to unique shops and beautiful temples, there’s so much to explore. The atmosphere is lively and festive, perfect for wandering, tasting new flavors, and taking photos. A must-visit spot for foodies and anyone wanting a cultural adventure near Yokohama!

It was my first time visiting a chinatown and while from the outside the decoration looks inviting and traditional, the locals that work in the stores and restaurants were not pleasant. Many will try to lure you into their store and wont let you walk in peace. Many restaurants dont offer english menus and when i ordered something i was overcharged by double the price. While the town itself is a nice sight, i would stay far away from non english speaking locals and rather grab a drink somewhere else in yokohama.

Very lively and colourful neighbourhood. Yet, not jam packed with tourists as in central Tokyo for example. You can actually walk and admire things here! Many restaurants and interesting shops and there’s a train station very nearby if you’re coming from central Tokyo.

The last time I visited Yokohama Chinatown was over 40 years ago. It has some changes. However, one thing that remains unchanged is that it attracts many tourists. The Yokohama Chinatown is similar to most Chinatowns in other countries. It has a lot of Chinese restaurants and stores, where I can enjoy a good meal, buy some snacks, and grab some drinks.

Great place to visit at night. The lights were beautiful. The air was filled with a combination of various food. I would come here again.

One of the most colorful and lively spots in Yokohama! Yokohama Chinatown is the biggest Chinatown in Japan, and it’s absolutely packed with amazing food, bright lanterns, and beautiful gates at every corner. Super easy to get to from Tokyo too—just around 40–50 minutes by train. There’s so much to explore here! The streets are filled with Chinese restaurants, snack stalls, dim sum shops, and souvenir stores. I recommend trying the pork buns, sesame balls, and soup dumplings—there are lines at some places, but they move fast and it’s totally worth it. Besides food, the area is just fun to walk around. It’s very photogenic, especially at night when the lights come on. There’s also a beautiful temple (Kanteibyo) right in the middle of it all that adds to the atmosphere. I went during the afternoon and stayed until evening—perfect timing to enjoy the shops and see everything light up. It can get busy, especially on weekends, but that’s part of the energy.

Amazing panoramic views of Yokohama. The elevator is super fast and quiet. It is fun seeing the red brick warehouse, ferris wheel and other rides from far away. Take note of the photo signs facing each direction that explains the buildings in the view. There are places to sit, rest and have a drink without feeling rushed to leave. Other activities for children were taking place too.

An absolutely stunning view from the visitor's plattform. I was there on a Friday for the sunset, didn't have to que at all and went directly with a few people to the top for 1000 yen. It was absolutely worth it! Though the skies were clear, Mt Fuji was hidden as well as the setting sun. Nevertheless I went a few rounds, took seat at varois occasions and enjoyed a beer while the day fades and the lights go on in the agglomeration. In contrast to Tokyo Tower and the Sky tree, there are very few visitors and that alone is fantastic! No queing to go up or down and the possibility to watch the city from different spaces (on the Sky tree there are lines for certain spots). The highlights are the harbor, the ferris wheel and other rides below the tower and the surrounding city.

Amazing experience. The views form the sky garden 69th floor are simply amazing. Nice little cafe and souvenir shop up there as well. 1000 yen admissions. The evelvator goes 28 mph. Your ears will pop. Check it out when visiting Yokohama. You can even see Mt Fuji.

Very recommended side for observatory deck, clean and tidy, 900 yenes entrance fee. The restaurant offered drinks, side dishes, beverages. Dishes consist of huge hot 🌭 dog, Nachos with 5 small sausages, drinks offered specialty drinks, coffee, teas, sodas like cola,ginger alle, Japanese mocha, juices like apple,orange, grapes. Very clean and not crowded.

The former tallest building in Japan, you can take a quick ride to the 69th floor for great views from Yokosuka to Mount Fuji. There is a library, coffee shop, and gift shop at the top. There is ample seating and space to spend time at the top of the building. Highly recommend giving this a try if you are in Yokohama.

It was once the tallest building in Japan, now the second tallest but it still holds the record with the fastest elevator in Japan running at over 750 meters per second. The views are stunning and the sweets at the observation deck gift shop are tasty. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Yokohama.

I love the atmosphere on top of the tower. It is so much more relaxed than the Skytree with a lot less crowding. You can grab a drink from the bar and watch the sunset without time pressure. Both times I went to the tower I was able to see Fuji, one time only the silhouette and the other a clear view. Incredible.

Harbor View Park (港の見える丘公園) in Yokohama is a peaceful and breezy public park offering stunning views of Yokohama Bay, the Bay Bridge, and the cityscape. Known for its beautiful gardens and serene environment, it’s a popular spot for relaxing strolls, picnics, and enjoying the natural beauty and panoramic views of the city. The park also hosts various events throughout the year, adding to its lively yet tranquil atmosphere. 🌿🌬️🌆

Very nice park with an observation deck (platform?) of the harbor (regular port things with large warehouses rather than an aesthetic view). Bathroom available by the deck. Connects to an English rose garden and other small gardens. LOTS of butterflies, so pretty. Went on a Saturday afternoon, there were people but not too much that it felt crowded. Good amount of walking.

This park is big and shaded, with an observatory deck where you can have a view of Yokohama from the top. There’s an English rose garden and an American-style garden to explore. If you're tired, there's an elevator and lift connected to the station, making it easy to avoid the uphill walk.

Great place to get a scenic view of the harbour. Nice tranquil garden as well. Would definitely recommend a visit at dusk to catch the harbour lights!

Harbor View park has probably one of the most magnificent views of the harbor, which makes sense due to the name..obviously. It was so clean and refreshing i felt almost cleansed after going for a peaceful stroll through the park. all the flowers surrounding you everywhere, it was honestly beautiful. i do recommend going for anyone who loves flowers and peaceful walks through parks as this is one of the best parks i went to!

Beautiful place on the hill and you can see Yokohama Bridge and Harbor view.

It’s been years since I visited here. Nice view from the park and what a beautiful place!! One of the Yokohama must visit place if you never been here.

Beautifully decorated walkway from Sakuragicho JR station to the Yokohama Red Brick House. I assume the railway along the promennade has some historical significances! The walk is leisure with nice view of the iconic ferries wheel and the tallest building in Yokohama! Also, one of the best place to see the night view of Yokohama! Way better than taking the over-charged and super short distance cable car!

Quite lovely, both for the history and for the landscaping. Makes for a peaceful walk (and convenient) across the bay

A peaceful place to walk and admire the city view. Perfect any time of the day, but the night is especially amazing.

Yokohama! To me the city of lights! Kisha Michi bridge looks amazing during night time. Though its a very small walkway but the lighting reflection on the sea waters makes the bridge more beautiful. Winter is a bit windy. But best for summer.

Very nice walk along the waterfront area.

This has one of the great views of Yokohama and the pier area. Enjoy a relaxed walk here.

Highly recommended. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the view. It does take some amount of walking to get here. However everything around is so scenic you won't even feel the distance!

TLDR: good for tasting different ramen bowls downstairs in small sizes but wish the museum had a bit more substance We definitely enjoyed a few bowls of ramen downstairs. I enjoyed the cappuccino tonkotsu ramen at stall 8 and the shoyu/tonkotsu at stall 4. I also liked that they let you get a small size for 680 yen instead of a full size so you can try multiple. However I wish the museum had a bit more substance. The gift shop is bigger than the actual museum itself. Overall a good experience still

For an experience this is a good place, but not exactly a museum. Entrance fee for an adult is 450yen. Inside, if you pay another 5000 with a reservation you can make ramen noodle on your own.( making the dough i guess) the 1F has a few walls with history of ramen and evolution of ramen in Japan. Also there’s a souvenir shop. In B1 and B2 there are retro type ramen shop which gives the vibe of old japan ramen alleys. Here you may choose a ramen shop to dine and you have to line up between 30~1hour depending on the popularity of the shop. And agin after paying you can enjoy your ramen. So the entrance fee is kind of exaggerated because it is not exactly a “museum”. As an overall it was a nice experience and ramen was good.

The history of ramen in Japan was interesting but the highlight was the ramen food mall in the basement. With the help of a young Japanese woman we queued up for about half an hour to order at our chosen restaurant. The wait was definitely worth it. One of the best konkatsu ramens I’ve ever eaten. Midweek would probably have been five stars.

Really fun visit with multiple ramen restaurants inside. They are rotating restaurants so they will always be eventually different. Can also get half sized ramen as well. Had a rich history section and a nice souvenir shop. Line up for ramen varies with what time you go.

Lovely Museum with very tasty ramen and a lot of Info on the history of ramen. A little unfortunate that you can't just order one ramen for the whole group and sit down in the restaurants. Everybody in the group needs to order at least one ramen bowl which can get expensive quick. Other than that I liked it here very much! Will come again to taste the rest!

Most visit place for the lovers of Ramen 🍜. Discover the history of Ramen, shop for varies instant ramen. Try out 6 different ramen restaurants. Number 1 store seems to be the most popular. If you have time you can even book ramen noodles making class. Definitely something to do for every one young and old.

Initially we were going to the cup noodles Museum in Yokohama but, after reading about and visiting this one, I think we made the best choice. The ambience is great, you can choose between many reagional ramen and make your own dry ramen to take home with any picture. You choose. Not packed (we went at the beginning of august), well worth it.

1 hour was plenty for the museum itself. It is pretty small and is just one floor. 4th floor had a cool food court area where you can purchase noddle cuisines from different countries. There was also a playground for kids. The cup ramen experience takes as much time it takes you for decorating. The line probably took about 5 minutest to get in, then another 10 min tops for the line for toppings & packaging. The gift shop area was cool so make sure to checm that out.

Such a fun and unique experience for when you are in Japan so I highly reccomend! We booked tickets in advance so we could get a guaranteed time slot for the Cup Noodles Factory. The factory experience was so fun as you could design your own cup noodles and customise the flavour/ toppings. The staff members were all super helpful and friendly guiding you through each step. The museum was also well organised with interactive elements and an entertaining but informative film as well. We finished off our museum experience with the Noodles Bazaar that offered a variety of noodle dishes from around the world as well as some strange but unique desserts such as cup noodle flavoured soft serve!

We had a wonderful time at the Cup Noodles Museum. It was eye-opening to learn about the history and science behind instant noodles in such an engaging way. The exhibits were interactive and well-presented, making it enjoyable for both adults and kids. The highlight was the workshop, where we got to create our own cup noodles — a fun and memorable hands-on experience, especially for the children. Highly recommended for families! The rooftop had a beautiful view of Yokohama Bay.

It's neat to see the release of different flavors around the world by year and to make you own cup of noodles (extra charge and may need reservations depending on how crowded). The museum is small in regards to content. The history is all in Japanese.. so bring a translator if you want to read it. Its very kid friendly. If its just adults I recommend going to the ramen museum instead.. there you get the history and get to get some really good ramen.

A must visit for all noodle lovers. The humble beginning of the instant Noodles, through challenges and innovation is well told. The movie shown is very informative. You can make your own custom noodles and take it home as a souvenir. The observation deck on top has some great views. The food court has collection of delicious noodle dishes from different parts of the world

This was an interesting museum. I enjoyed seeing the wall of hundreds of different cups of noodles over the years. There is a free audio tour in different languages you can listen to as you walk through the museum. Bring your own earbuds! Making your own Cup of Noodles was fun. Nice gift shop. They have a restaurant with different types of noodles from all around the world. It's relatively inexpensive. You could spend around 2-3 hours here.

Nice bit of history about a poor student staple meal. Amazing to learn Momofuku Ando came up with instant ramen at the age of 61. The My Cup Noodles activity was fun, but more suited to kids and groups. It was nice to see how they package the ramen and seasonings. I can't wait to taste my custom ramen.

Next to the ship is the Yokohama Port Museum, which provides interactive exhibits on the history and development of Yokohama as an international port. Together, the Nippon Maru and the museum serve as both cultural and educational attractions. Surrounded by modern landmarks like the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel and Landmark Tower, the park also offers stunning views, especially at night when the city lights reflect off the water. It’s a popular spot for walking, photography, and relaxing, appealing to both tourists and locals alike.

The illuminated sailing ship Nippon Maru, known as “The Swan of the Pacific,” looked absolutely stunning tonight⛵✨ The reflections on the water and the skyline of Minato Mirai created a breathtaking scene🌃💫

Relaxing spot for weekend. I can do little picnic and fun outdoor exercises here. No need to inside the ship, which has fee enterance.

Very nice place with an incredible ship of the Japanese navy. You can go inside the boat and visit all the environments, so it is possible to understand how was the life during the navigation. In addition you can also visit the port museum. It tells the story of the Yokohama port, from before that Japan opened the country to the trading until nowadays.

Very beautiful and calm park on the weekends. Good place for a picnic or just to relax and watch the water. Nice view of gondolas and the ferris wheel.

It's good place to visit. Theme park is near this. Cosmo Clock ,Sky Duck Bus, Nippon Maru Ship, Sky Car all are near by this location. Shopping malls are there near by this tower. Must visit place in Minotomirai Yokohama. Easy Access from Metro stations. Lot of food joints are there.

It's got everything and is conveniently located around just about every kind of entertainment you can want. Great place for a date for couples that like to shop together. But you'll probably spend more than is necessary.

Beautiful place in minato mirai area. There is a snoopy store, Disney store , lots of restaurants and places to sit and chill and enjoy the scenery. Easy access by train. Lots of shops and they have events on the weekends. Overall a great place to go to get away from the noise in other areas. Lots of greenery nearby.

A beautiful shopping mall with many shops and restaurants to visit. It's tempting to stay here longer but don't stay here too long as you have the rest of Yokohama to explore.

Beautiful location connected to a train station for those commuting via trains. Plenty of restaurants for the foodies and sites to see for those who like to sight see.

The Queen Square at Yokohama is one of the big shopping malls at that area. You better to look at the map of the mall first to find the shop you want to go. The best part of this mall is....it's is on top of the subway station, so it's easy to go there. A good place to spend time and money !

Infrastructure Amazing development and Ambience and atmosphere Everything good and piece mind

Overall decent place for shopping and eating but very few shoppers after lunch time . It’s co-located with Tokyu square.

On Sept 23, 2025, my wife wanted to see for herself an elephant-nose like sculpture in the Park. But it was nowhere to be seen. After further site investigations, we concluded that it had been removed. Quite a sight-no-seeing experience.

There’s aplenty of activities ongoing surrounding Zou-no-hana Park. You will see there’s a huge harbour greenland with a surface area of close to 3.3 hectares including the breakwater stretching sideways from the Osanbashi Yokohama International Port Terminal. This encompass an event space and a resting area with a cafe gallery too. I can see dog lovers exchanging talks while their dogs interacting with one another.

Went there during the Yokohama Record Fest, the place was spacious even when full of people. The view was spectacular overlooking the pier. The weather that day made sure of an even better experience. For the food, I had an apple pi which was good, a nice apple cider with cinnamon (I think), and hot chocolate with marshmallow. Perfect to accompany our visit there.

Have a cool drink and sit and watch the sea and beautiful boats in a relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful park, clear views of the Red Brick Museum as well as interesting exhibit in the middle!

This is a relatively new, tiny urban park (more like a rest area) on the site of a former building. It's nice that this was turned into free space rather than just another small residence or shop. There are a few benches, an informational signboard, and a reasonable view to the Minato Mirai area. This park should not be confused with large Zounohana Park across the water, which is further away from the original Zo-No-Hana breakwater than this one is. It might be easier to think of this park as Zo-No-Hana Breakwater Park.

One of Yokohama's hidden photography and strolling gems. A little of the strolling course from Yamashita Park to the red brick houses, it offers a unique and encompassioview. Take your time and a seat here or there and enjoy the view. It's best enjoyed at night when the harbour illuminations light up the water.

From this floating pier you can take Yokohama bay boat ride. In November, when sunset is about at 6 PM night ride is awesome. Industrial area is lighted and view is amazing.

Nice Pier with great views, Rinko Park is a short walk away, providing more greats views. The Water taxi runs out of this Pier offering great service to other popular areas of Yokohama.

This small pier is pretty nice and beautiful. There is an upscale restaurant and a information desk. Well connected with Minatomirai buildings and shopping malls.

Beautiful scenery with lots of fish jumping up and down the water. Healthy bay indeed!!! Great drinks and service..cool ambience 😃🥂

This here is very nice

Pukari pier in Minato Mirai provides great views of the bay area at Yokohama

What can I say..I love every ferry ;). Nice one. Not too expensive.

Avoid Yokohama Station guest service office, it's always long queue and is super super slow moving. Otherwise is an incredibly busy hub, connecting you to so much of the city and beyond! For families, it's super convenient with plenty of shops and eateries right inside and connected. While the station itself is a transport nexus, it's your gateway to fantastic family-friendly spots like the Cup Noodles Museum, Anpanman Children's Museum, or even the Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery nearby for car enthusiasts. It's bustling, but efficient for getting around with little ones!

Huge station with underground malls, shops, all sorts of passageways, etc, that could be confusing for first-time visitors. Good for shopping on a rainy day, though. Or for souvenir hunting.

The journey ends where the sea begins. Glass towers mirror the harbor’s blue; ships, lovers, and trains share the same horizon. The Keihin–Tōhoku Line rests here, its rhythm fulfilled. It has carried the city’s heartbeat — from Saitama’s calm to Yokohama’s endless light. Tourist Tip: Major hub connecting Tokyo with the bay area. Visit Minato Mirai, Chinatown, and Yamashita Park. Ideal for sunsets by the sea or night walks under ferris wheel lights.

A beautifully designed station with a multitude of routes and destinations! 🚂💨 Effortlessly navigate the city with ease and convenience.

It's a bit tough to navigate if you are here for the first time and want to kill some time or grab something to eat in the nearby malls. It just lacks proper signage which is essential in places that don't allow for GPS navigation using maps. If you are just transferring between trains finding the right platform is a breeze. The only signage that could use some more prominent display are the Narita Airport NE'X train ones. Once you find the right entrance route is easy to follow. Just head to platform 10 and wait for a huge train to arrive. NE'X trains really stand out and it's impossible to miss one when you see it!

It was my first time visiting Yokohama Station, and I was amazed at how huge it is! The size and number of shops inside were overwhelming—in a good way. You could easily spend hours here exploring.

Loads of people, good signage, fairly easy to get on the train you need. Food and bathrooms on site, also a station to get or reload your train card.

The park is very clean and pleasant, making it a great place to spend time with family, friends, or your loved one. The view is wonderful as well ✨

This is where Yokohama goes to exhale. After melting under the city sun, we wandered in and immediately questioned why we hadn’t started our day here, sprawled on the grass like content lizards. The park stretches out in all directions: part skyline backdrop, part ocean view, part “I should’ve packed a picnic” regret. There’s space for everyone: kids chasing invisible butterflies, couples posing for very intentional “candid” photos, and us, sitting on a bench debating whether standing up again was worth it. The breeze off the bay felt like a personal apology from the weather gods for earlier cruelty. Bonus points for the random giant fruit sculpture...proof that even art can get sunstroke in Japan. If you need to cool down, recharge, or just watch life roll gently by, Rinko Park’s your place. Bring water, curiosity, and maybe a parasol — the sun here doesn’t mess around.

Rinko Park is absolutely magnificent — a vast, open space that feels both serene and alive. It’s one of those rare places where you can breathe deeply, watch countless dog walkers pass by, and feel part of the city yet far from its rush. The sunsets here are some of the best I’ve seen in Japan — the sky melts into gold and pink over the bay, creating pure magic. Perfect for an evening stroll, quiet reflection, or just sitting on a bench and soaking in the view. A must-visit if you love nature, open skies, and calm coastal vibes.

Great waterfront park. Beautiful views of Yokohama Bay and the iconic skyline, wide open spaces, lush greenery, and scenic walking paths. Ideal for picnics, leisurely strolls, and photography. The promenade walk is literally at the level of the ocean.

Lovely stretch by the sea to take a break from the busy city. Not much shade so it was quite warm on the day that we went.

Wonderful sprawling riverside park with huge green areas and tons of hardscaping overlooking the water.

Great little park that had the most wonderful dog show & stalls - Q's for "I am a Donut" were horrendous tho.

You don’t need a map to find the Cosmo Clock 21. You just follow the glow. At night, it’s less a Ferris wheel and more a pulse: a 112-meter halo of color that marks the rhythm of Yokohama’s waterfront. I stood by the canal and watched the lights shift from emerald to gold, the LED veins rippling across the spokes like some massive cybernetic sunflower. And in the middle of it all, a digital clock that tells you it’s 19:56, as if time itself had joined the performance. It is both old-school and futuristic: first built in '89, it was the world’s largest Ferris wheel & the first to double as a timepiece. But up close, it feels timeless. Couples lean on the railings, teens take selfies, and every few minutes someone mutters the same word in any language: “Wow.” I didn’t ride it. Didn’t need to. Some things you appreciate better from a distance: the reflection shimmering on the bay, the faint hum of the amusement park below, the city skyline playing backup vocals. Yokohama doesn’t need a monument; it has this glowing circle in the dark. Proof that sometimes, a city’s soul isn’t in its towers, but in the things that make you stop walking.

A Day at Cosmo Tower, Yokohama Cosmo Tower in Yokohama is truly a place where you can spend an entire day soaking in beauty and fun. I visited recently, and it was an unforgettable experience. We reached in the afternoon and began with a gondola ride. The ticket costs ¥1,000 per person, and what I found very thoughtful was that each gondola is reserved for one family or one individual ,they don’t mix different groups of people. I found that to be a very empathetic gesture. The gondola slowly climbed to a height of 369 feet, and the view from the top was simply mind-blowing. During the 15 minute ride, we enjoyed sweeping 360° views of Yokohama city, the harbor, the Minato Mirai skyline, Yokohama Bay Bridge, The museum and children’s park .everything looked utterly beautiful. As evening approached, we decided to go for a second ride to see Yokohama illuminated at night. This time, we were lucky to get a transparent gondola, which made the experience even more magical. Though the queue was overwhelming it took us almost 50 minutes to an hour to get into Gondola, but it was worth the wait. Right below the Ferris wheel, there’s an open air restaurant where you sit back, enjoy meal, and soak in the lively atmosphere of the place. When the gondola began to rise, the city sparkled like a scene from a fairy tale. The lights, reflections, and cool night breeze created a mind blowing atmosphere. From above, I noticed something truly spectacular ,the seats placed below the Ferris wheel, where people relax and watch the fun, glowed in vibrant shades of purple & Pink at night. It was an enchanting sight to watch those lights shining like jewels from the height of the gondola. Fun Facts about Cosmo Clock 21 Number of Gondolas: 60 Capacity per Gondola: 8 persons Total Capacity: 480 passengers at once Rotation Time: 15 minutes per full rotation Wheelchair Accessible: Yes ♿ Ticket Cost: ¥1,000 per person Best Time to Visit: Just before sunset, when you can enjoy both daylight views and the dazzling nighttime illumination

Some nice views of Yokohama from above! Very smooth and secure ride for the whole family. Glows brightly with colourful lights in the evening. You can get a view of the amusement park below & roller coaster ride too! We went into a regular gondola but a see-through gondola is available, you just have to wait longer as there's much fewer of them. If you're interested, they offer to take a free photo before you ride the Ferris wheel. You can look & purchase the photo afterwards.

Cable car was better. Too many obstructions in the capsules here and the roundabout was a little too long. Not recommended if you have a fear of heights as it is pretty frightening from the top.

Such a fun cool little adventure place. We got there at 6pm and park closes at 7:30pm so we wanted to make sure we got on the ferris wheel. Views were breathtaking! Price was affordable. There is so much entertainment to see and games to play. Highly recommend.

It's a tall, world's tallest ferris wheel (with clock) almost never stops [only stops when loading people with mobility issues] MUST BUY TICKETS WITH JAPANESE MONEY. NO CREDIT CARDS OR OTHER CURRENCIES. Takes about 15 minutes to ride. It's a ferris wheel we had long wait after getting correct money and tickets BUY TICKETS ON LINE WAY CHEAPER. COST $ 1000 yen 10-12-2025.

Great views from the top for sure. Once you Passover the top hopefully you’ll get a glimpse of Fuji-san. It’s a bit confusing on where to go but just enter where the roller coaster is located and the head to the back of the amusement park. You should see the signs for Cosmo Click 21 which is the name of the Ferris wheel. Confusing I know.

The Sail Training Ship Nippon Maru (日本丸) is one of Japan’s most iconic maritime landmarks, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the country’s rich naval heritage. Located at the Nippon Maru Memorial Park in Yokohama, this three-masted tall ship is a museum and historical vessel that tells the story of Japan’s maritime training tradition. If you’re interested in history, sailing, or simply exploring something distinctive in Yokohama, the Nippon Maru is an unforgettable experience. Here’s a detailed look at the Sail Training Ship Nippon Maru: History and Background The Nippon Maru was built in 1930 and originally served as a training vessel for the Japanese Merchant Marine Academy. For over 50 years, it was used to train Japan’s future sailors and cadets, providing hands-on experience in navigation, ship maintenance, and sailing. The ship’s purpose was to give cadets the necessary skills to operate large sailing vessels and understand maritime operations at sea. It became an essential part of Japan’s maritime education system. The ship was retired in 1984, after decades of service, and was eventually restored as a museum ship in Yokohama. Today, visitors can board the Nippon Maru and explore various parts of the ship, experiencing what life aboard a tall ship was like. What You Can Expect on the Nippon Maru 1. Exploring the Ship • The Deck: The Nippon Maru has three towering masts that soar high above the ship. Walking around the main deck, you can get a feel for the sheer scale of the vessel and imagine what it must have been like to sail on it during its active years. There are several areas on deck where you can take in panoramic views of Yokohama Bay and the surrounding skyline, including the Minato Mirai district and the Yokohama Landmark Tower. • Mast Climbing: For those adventurous enough, there’s an opportunity to try climbing the rigging and experience what it was like for the cadets who trained aboard the ship. Although it’s not the same as navigating the open seas, it’s a great way to connect with the ship’s history in a hands-on way. 2. Interior of the Ship • The Captain’s Quarters: Inside the ship, you can visit the Captain’s quarters, which is a small but functional space that reflects the captain’s living and working conditions. The space is relatively modest compared to the size of the ship but gives you insight into how the captain would manage the ship and oversee the crew. • Crew Areas: You can also explore the areas where the cadets and crew would have stayed. The officers’ rooms are neatly arranged, and there are exhibits showing what life was like aboard a training vessel in the 20th century. The engine room and sailing equipment are also open for exploration, where you can learn about the mechanical and navigational systems used on the ship. • Navigation Room: The navigation room contains various historical nautical instruments, such as old compasses, sextants, and charts, used by the ship’s officers for navigation. These exhibits highlight the evolution of maritime technology and the training that cadets received during their time aboard. 3. Educational Exhibits • The Nippon Maru Museum provides educational exhibits that explain the significance of the Nippon Maru in Japan’s maritime history. These include historical photos, documents, and models of the ship, all detailing its role in training generations of sailors. The exhibits also cover the broader context of maritime training in Japan and the importance of sail training for the country’s merchant marine fleet. • You’ll also learn about the broader role of the Merchant Marine Academy and how cadets were trained in sailing, navigation, and maritime life. These exhibits emphasize the ship’s importance in fostering international cooperation and the exchange of knowledge between Japan and other countries, especially during its active

Unfortunately the day I want to visit fall on their maintenance's day. Even though I didn't aboard the ship but look from a far still make me feel happy and excited. Will come back again if I visit Yokohama.

Who knew one of my top marine experiences would involve a ship that’s been docked since 1984? For the price of a convenience store onigiri and an iced coffee, I got to board this absolute unit of a ship, wander its spotless decks, and pretend I was a 1930s cadet about to chart the Pacific while actually just looking for the next vending machine. Here’s why it’s great: ✅ Cheap admission: Your wallet will thank you while you hum sea shanties under your breath. ✅ Historical vibes: Built in 1930, it trained 11,500 sailors and circled Earth’s circumference 45 times. Meanwhile, I get winded walking up one flight of stairs. ✅ Immersive exhibits: The navigation room, sleeping quarters, and deck views all scream “romantic maritime nostalgia” and “thank goodness I live in the era of electric kettles.” Sure, it’s technically a museum ship – but if you squint hard enough, it becomes a cruise without the crowds, buffet lines, or norovirus outbreaks. Plus, you’re not trapped at sea with other tourists. Freedom, baby. Pro tip: Visit near sunset when the golden glow hits the ship and skyscrapers behind it. Great for photos, romance, and contemplating whether you’d survive on the open ocean (answer: no).

Well worth your time. The training ship is quite interesting and you get to view all the spaces were the cadets and officers lived and worked for 6 months

The Sail Training Ship Nippon Maru (帆船日本丸) is a beautifully preserved maritime museum in Yokohama. The ship's impressive rigging and detailed craftsmanship are a testament to Japan's rich maritime history. The knowledgeable staff and volunteers provide fascinating insights into the life of a sailor, making it an educational experience for all ages. The ship is well-maintained, and the surrounding area offers stunning views of the harbor. A must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in naval architecture. Highly recommended!

A very interesting look at how merchant marine officers used to be trained. Great tour route and great setup of displays.

Much better than I expected to be honest. I was tempted to walk straight past after taking a picture from outside as I thought it would be a boring visit, it was actually really interesting!! Only 400 yen per person is also a great deal for what could be a 45 minute or more trip, depending how closely you look around. Gives some nice insights into the history and role of the ship, its construction materials, what life at sea might be like, the various living quarters and jobs of the crew and officers. Not all areas are accessible but there is still plenty to see for a snapshot in time.

Authentic Japanese Jean brand with style. Loved the shop with artistic characteristic and not to mentioned the clothes under it's own brand "Blue Blue" carries its own uniqueness that can't be missed. Glad I found this hidden gem on the last day of the trip. The staffs here are super friendly with patience to assist foreigners like me and the big plus is it has tax free service, so remember to bring the passport along.

The quality and design of the items were good

Nice place to take photos

Tax free!

Nice place

(Translated by Google) I happened to stop by while traveling. I was nervous when I entered the store, but was overwhelmed by the cool atmosphere and looked around. Then I mustered up the courage to tell the staff my budget and help them choose jeans for me! I learned a lot about the appeal of jeans and found a great pair. I'm looking forward to learning more about jeans from now on! Thank you for this wonderful encounter! (Original) 旅行の際、偶然立ち寄りました。 緊張しながらお店に入りかっこいい雰囲気に圧倒されながら見て回り、勇気を出して店員さんに予算を伝えてジーンズを選んでいただきました! ジーンズの魅力をたっぷりと教えてもらって素敵な一本と出会えました。これからジーンズを育てていきたいと思います! 素敵な出会いをありがとうございました!

(Translated by Google) My husband and I visited a little after 3pm on July 30th. I've seen similar reviews before... I was picking up an item in the store and looking at it, but a female staff member quickly came over and fixed the same item (even though she didn't put it back in a mess or spread the clothes out), which was a very unpleasant experience. We looked at about three items, but even though the items were nice, we lost interest in buying them and left. Neither the male nor female staff member spoke to me once. I live nearby, but for the first time, I've found a store I never want to visit again. (Original) 7月30日15時すぎに夫婦で伺いました。 以前にも同様な評価ありました、、店内で商品を手に取り見ていましたが、すぐに駆け寄り女性の店員が同じものを直していて(ぐちゃぐちゃに戻したりなどせず洋服を広げたりもしていないのに)とても不快な体験でした。3点程見ていましたが素敵な商品でも買う気がなくなり帰りました。 店員男女共に一度も声かけてこなかったです。 近くに住んでいますが、初めて2度と行きたくないお店が見つかりました。

My hotel was located right beside the bridge and I had the opportunity to sit beside the river, seeing the bridge from where I was seated. It was a great experience enjoying the views.

It is right in front of the APA Hotel and one of the best nighttime sightseeing views. It was not crowded and pretty breezy, so I felt good here on this bridge.

Pretty nice view from here. It's worth taking the pictures of the view around and the selfie to show yourself you are in Yokohama. This is my favorite place in Yokohama.

Stunning views. Be sure to look into the water and check out the local sea life too ♡

Great view.

Beautiful night view.

Nice night view^^

(Translated by Google) 2025.3.21 The weather was nice so it was a good day for a walk I went there for the first time after coming to Yokohama. I gave up because there were so many people that I thought it would be a long way to come, but The day before is a holiday and the next day I guess it was a good thing that it was a Friday, a weekday, as there weren't many tourists. Spring is approaching and it's getting warmer good view Walking on the trees on the wooden deck is fun and comfortable. I aimed for the tip Viewpoint at the tip Although the wind was strong, it felt really good Maybe it was because it was a sunny day It felt good Wood deck is nice I had a great time The wind is pleasant and the view is good. Relax while feeling the size of Asuka II 360 degree view of Yokohama Minato Mirai I felt very comfortable and enjoyed it.

It's a beautiful port.

(Translated by Google) The sea, night view, and cityscape are all beautiful! It is barrier-free. There are vending machines and benches, but there is little shade.

You can take some amazing photos like this! (Original) 横浜の観光では絶対外せない存在！ 桟橋は🐳をイメージすると納得、納得 夜景はちょうど日没が始まる時から楽しんでください。 今月は夕方19頃です。 こんな素敵な写真が撮れます！

Beautiful temple with amazing sea views and peaceful gardens. You can pay by card at machines (cashier is cash-only), and even the charms can be bought using a credit card — first time I’ve seen that! Inside there’s a small cave with tunnel-like passages and carvings — really unique and worth visiting. Come early in the morning before it gets crowded.

I had a great time wandering around the temple in May this year. This was totally worth your time to nourish your mind and body with the beautiful zen garden, stunning Japanese architecture, and as a Buddhist, I am stunned by the large Buddha statue sitting in the main temple. I used to practice meditation but somehow lately have not been actively doing so, but there I could feel the steadiness and peace in the air flowing through my mind. Highly recommend this temple if you are going to Kamakura.

This temple overall was a very nice place with gorgeous views. I was happy that they took credit card to gain entrance into the temple (note many places in Kamakura take only cash). I was a bit disappointed that there were so many places/vendors charging for everything once you entered. I never thought I’d have to pay for a prayer or blessing. It was nice to visit and experience.

If Kamakura were a mixtape, Hasedera would be the “chill vibes only” track. Officially, it’s a Buddhist temple complex famous for its eleven-headed Kannon statue (yes, eleven...because apparently one head wasn’t enough). Unofficially, it’s a mash-up of zen gardens, koi ponds, bell towers & enough moss to make any landscaper cry with envy. The grounds include the 1000 Jizō statues, which look like a stone army politely waiting for instructions. Spoiler: they don’t move, but they do photograph like a dream. There’s also a cave with carvings if you want something moodier, and a terrace view that reminds you why the Japanese built things on hills. Helpful bit: it’s about a 5–10 minute walk from Hase Station on the Enoden line. Go early if you want quiet; go later if you want to test your patience with crowds. Either way, bring your camera & maybe a coin or two for the donation boxes. This place is serene, photogenic, and just spiritual enough that even atheists leave feeling oddly refreshed.

This temple differs from others mainly because of the stunning location. Being able to see the sea is quite lovely. This temple has multiple different outdoor spots to discover. There are also picnic tables in the shade to cool off, and ice cream.

Wonderful Temple easily reachable with a pleasant walk from the train station or with bus with the near bus stop. The garden is cured in perfect condition with a lot of statue and in top there’s a beautiful view of the sea.

We were they in May 2025. The temple is quiet and peaceful. I love the cute little monks statues there. Try to get there early then you will have the whole place to yourself.

One of the best aspects of this place is that you can enjoy the scenic surroundings and general atmosphere without needing to purchase an entry ticket. This makes it a great spot for casual visitors or those just looking to relax outdoors. If you're interested in experiencing the rides and attractions, tickets can be purchased individually at the attraction counters. However, be aware that the individual ride tickets are quite expensive. For those planning to enjoy multiple attractions, I highly recommend opting for a one-day pass, which offers better value and convenience. Note: Parking is available but not free, so be sure to factor that into your visit budget.

Some of the systems and processes they have here are like from Tokyo Disneyland but of course the place is a level down from it but still enjoyable nonetheless. We bought the one day pass so we were able to enjoy most rides, access to animal interactions, and aquariums + shows. If not, they allow scanning of QR code to pay on web or their app (it's cashless which is usually rare for local carnivals and theme parks). Very seamless and fast. The food choices are not super great (pretty much like Disneyland), but I did enjoy the eat all you can seafood BBQ here. We'd definitely come back.

Absolutely marvellous experience. Fun for all ages. Really diverse set of animals they have. 2 kinds of penguins, walruses, seals, great white sharks, belugas, turtles, polar bears, manta rays to name a few… And do not miss the dolphin and beluga show at any cost. Thank me later.

As tourists to Yokohama, we took a train to Hakkeijima to visit the sea paradise aquarium... they have the Japanese spider crabs there and that was our mission - to see them! There is an aqua-theatre with performing whales, dolphins, a walrus and penguins. The aqua facility is only a small part of the larger park, that hosts other land based animals, amusement rides and other forms of entertainment. When we visited on a Sunday, arriving at 10am opening time, there was already a huge crowd present... and very popular with children. The train stops at the park. There is a 10-15 minute walk to the ticket office - not under cover, so be mindful of the weather when visiting. We did not go on rides or visit the amusement section. By appearances, and in our opinion, the park and buildings looked a little tired and wanting for some TLC...

June 2025 One full day trip from Tokyo- Shinsugita station-monorail seaside line to Hakkeijima station and walk 15 min to entrance. Great place for families and young children although it is pretty far from Tokyo. Very impressed with the mammals performance. There are also feeding sessions to purchase. A lot of restaurants and cafes and also souvenir shops. There are also amusement rides for children to entertain. There are Bottle nose dolphins, Husky dolphins, Beluga, sharks, seals and assorted fishes, red panda, capybaras, prairie dogs, otters and etc. There is also a hotel within the park.

Great dolphins show, with variety of animals you hardly getting bored watching it. This time the show mix with music show from sanrio, they also had special event collecting stamp and get sticker pass. Oh yah for someone like us (using public transportation and walk) you should search aqua museum not hakkeijima, it more accurate and save your feet

Very impressive aquarium plus other small animals. For the dolphins shows, no worries of sitting in the front as the water will not splash on you. If you’re not in a hurry, hang around after show end as trainers will play with dolphin and do tricks. Somehow I feel the dolphins are well loved and happy. The Beluga is the cutest.

I really love this temple; it’s very large and hosts events throughout the year. I’ve visited during New Year’s and also during Golden Week. They hold festivals during these times, featuring plenty of food booths and games to play. It’s a great place for tourists or for a family visit. I highly recommend it if you’re in the area!

A famous and important temple in Kawasaki. Came here after visiting the kawasaki shuku museum. This temple was rather quiet. More peaceful. Less crowd. The nakamise dori was also filled with souvenirs and omiyage stalls but overall it was a short walk.

A very peaceful temple, far from mass tourism — here you can truly meditate, relax, and reflect, unlike in other popular temples in Tokyo.

I had a few hours waiting for my flight, so I got a taxi over to the temple. It was very busy, but well worth the trip. Beautiful scenery and exciting to see how Japanese respect their religion. I highly recommend visiting here if you're a foreigner looking for authentic Japan outside of the regular touristy areas. Of course, it's a holy site, so be respectful

We visited this temple right after strolling around the Nakamise Dori street next to this temple. The temple is beautiful, clean and calm. The location is pretty close to the Kawasaki Daishi station. Not only , but they also have beautiful pond, historical statue, and beautiful spots for taking picture. Pro tip: enter from the Nakamise Dori street and exit at the west gate as the exit gate is closer to the station.

This is a surprisingly large temple complex based around important historical figures of Buddhism in Japan. You can see several impressive historical buildings here, and you can read about them on pamphlets from the information centre, which are also available in English. There are also fortune slips and a place for burning the traditional bundles of incense sticks, which can be bought at a nearby stand. There were also some miscellaneous souvenirs available. If you want some traditional Japanese sweet, the shopping street that leads toward the main gate of the temple should satisfy your needs in this regard. The temple entrance is free, and the fortune slips and incense sticks both cost 100 yen, which is as cheap as these things get, so I am impressed by this aspect as well. Overall, I would absolutely recommend visiting this cultural gem for its magnificent architecture. It is also quite easy to reach from the centre of Tokyo, so it would be an easily available tourist attraction even for foreigners.

It was quiet and nice. Probably we went in summer and it was too hot so it wasn't that crowded.

Day of visit: 26-06-2025 at around 13:30 When I got there the flowers were just starting to wither, but there were still some to see. Probably because of that I did not have to wait for the ticket, and the flow of visitors was not crowded as usual. However, you still need to wait just a little bit to have nice photos without other people. Apart from the main path which is famous and usually crowded, there are smaller pathways on the side as well. If you are not someone who can beat the crowd or queue from early morning during the peak period, then I highly recommend visiting on a weekday in late June, just as I did.

Meigetsuin is mainly famous for the circular window view. The view in October is pretty but I believe it would be prettiest during autumn with the foliage turning red. There is a tiny bamboo grove too here.

My purpose in visiting this temple was to see the hydrangeas during the rainy season. It’s within walking distance from a local station, and along the way you can enjoy the natural scenery. The only concern is that too many people were waiting for the round window (丸窓).

Again overhyped. Nothing outstanding about the temple. There is entrance fee as well. The round window looks less majestic in reality.

The best temple in Kamakura with its own unique charm. Recommend to visit during flowering season when the hydrangeas are flowering and to visit the hidden garden. Its a bit out of the way but it was very tranquil. I really enjoyed it's unique figurines and statues. The garden behind the window of enlightenment was absolutely perfect & tranquil. With respect to the temple it's smaller compared to the other ones, but seemed to be better designed with points of interest along the way & especially with respect to crowd control and traffic flow.

‘With flowers in hand and a quiet smile — even a stranger’s heart softens gently in that silent grace.’ This quote from the temple summarised it perfectly. It’s a temple with theme: bright moon 🌕, rabbits, and flowers.

One of the best temples in Kamakura. Small, not crowded. The bamboo pathway and the circular window are the highlights of the temple but all the rest is nice. It is a little bit out of the traditional path (5minutes walking from the main road) so it is missed by many tourist.

The Yokohama Marine Tower truly transforms at night! Seeing it lit up against the dark sky is a sight to behold, with its intricate structure glowing beautifully. From the observation deck, the city lights of Yokohama sparkle endlessly, creating a mesmerizing tapestry across the bay. The entire Minato Mirai area looks especially vibrant after dusk. It offers a romantic and captivating perspective of the city, different from the daytime views. A visit at night is highly recommended for a truly memorable experience.

We visited on a warm Saturday afternoon in summer. The place wasn’t crowded, which was a definite plus if you're looking for a more relaxed outing. The observation decks offer clear views of the ocean, Yokohama Harbor, Yamashita Park, and the NYK Hikawamaru liner—it truly is a beautiful sight. There's basic guidance available for tourists, including signage and English-speaking staff . That said, the tower itself isn’t very tall or expansive. If you've already experienced the nearby Landmark Tower—with its much higher viewpoint—this might feel a bit underwhelming. The extra cost here is harder to justify in that context . In summary: A peaceful, accessible spot with lovely coastal views—but if you’re chasing that “wow” factor from great heights, you might find it a little modest compared to bigger towers.

Its a beautiful building, nicely lit in the evening too. I didn't feel a need to go up, there are plenty onter view points to the harbour)

Quick and easy access to the viewing deck, with beautiful sweeping views of Yokohama Bay and surrounding neighbourhoods. Mount Fuji also visible on clear days. Small gift shop on 2nd floor, however the restaurant on the 4th was closed on the morning I visited (Thu).

Maybe the cheapest tower in the world... The tower is not that big inside, but what a great view of Yokohama. Fantastic experience

We visited on a Monday night around 7. We paid ¥1200 for the evening ticket. It was quiet. At one point, it was just us up there. You get an awesome view of the city of Yokohama and the Yokohama Bridge.

Wonderful 360 degree view of Yokohama. Well worth 1000 yen entrance fee.

I think we missed the excellent night view of the garden. And there were not much flowers also this time. It is an organized nice garden with nighttime lighting.

Well worth the ticket for the garden and the sea candle. Sea candle offers fantastic views of the coast, especially if you go to the open air deck (which will be freezing in winter, so bring a coat and some heat packs) You’ll spend most of your time at the garden itself, which features fantastic viewing points of the coast, various restaurants, cafes, food stalls, and pubs. In winter there are spectacular light shows.

We went there for the lantern Festival and it was magical! The lights were amazing and although there was a lot of people we still managed to enjoy it!

A botanical garden located on Enoshima Island in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Established in 1880 by British merchant Samuel Cocking, the garden features a variety of tropical plants and seasonal flowers. Highlights include the Enoshima Sea Candle, a tall lookout tower offering panoramic views, and a restored 19th-century greenhouse housing tropical plants. It's a scenic and peaceful spot for nature lovers. 🌿🌸

I was there in the evening to take advantage of the Shonan light festival (10,000 candles) in there. I believe it runs until early November. It was really cool and nice to see. I really enjoyed my evening there. Just a reminder when you're buying tickets to enter. You'll need the same ticket to exit, so remember where you put and don't throw in the garbage after entering.

Honestly, it was more that we had to pass through to get to the observation tower. That being said, it was well-illuminated at night. Not blindingly bright like some other places I've been to.

A great place to visit and definitely one of multiple excellent sights to see on Enoshima Island. It’s pretty big with a couple of cafes and nice seating to relax and take in the views. The flowers are beautiful and there are many different types. I would recommend paying the ¥1000 fee to use the escalators and it will give you access to other venues so it pays for itself.

Nice experience to watch Sakura.. Also good spot to see Mt Fuji.. But we missed due to clouds!

For English speakers, it is a great place to see cherry blossoms! Definitely come during springtime but it's a nice nature park during other seasons. Great walking/jogging loops and have an area separate for kids playground and play area. You can bring your own mat and tent to set up to look at the Sakura trees. During peak season it can get crowded but there is plenty of space to find a spot to lay down your stuff. Plenty of public bathrooms and vending machines too. Parking may be a bit tough so try to avoid driving if possible but there is a good rotation of cars and you may find a space. All in all, worth checking out to get some fresh air.

A nice wide open park with plenty of space for kids to run and play, picnicking, etc. Especially appealing during cherry blossom season in April. There is nice trail around the perimeter of the park that is very popular with joggers.

A must visit place for a nice walk, well maintained. Easy to navigate, no bikes, lots of happy people, dogs and the sound of birds in the trees.

As a foreigner visiting Japan, my visit to Negiri Forest Park was a great way to interact with friendly locals, enjoy the Sakura and enjoy a beautiful walk away from city crowds. Worth a visit.

Beautiful park. The cherry blossoms are not ready just yet. Maybe 2 more weeks and they will be in full bloom Edit: 28March2023 the cherry blossoms are beautiful

Very family friendly park for family activities such as picnic, light exercise, and walking You can do jogging in the park as well. During cherry blossom season, the view is breath taking.

I came here to spend the morning after arriving Japan and it is a hidden gem in Yokohama. Very detailed history of Mitsubishi and it’s vision to provide better and more resilient energy options to the mankind. I enjoyed the hour I spent, really good.

If I am an adult, I can learn quite something here. But if I takes kids for a weekend stay, I will not recommend it any more. Comparing to the facilities five years ago, definitely, the exhibits are less friendly to kids. Much less interaction facilities.

Interesting museum which showcases the different industrial business units of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries conglomerate group. It is also catered for kids to learn about science and the environment as well. Visited in May 2023.

- industrial engineering museums are generally rare and this one is a solid one. - very good activity central in Yokohama - would definitely recommend if with kids

A MHI's company promotion exhibition center. There are so many modern displays and exhibitions. Kids can definitely enjoy for a half day at least. Entrance fee is 500 yen.

We went during goldenweek and arrived 9:55am before opening. But it was not as busy as we thought. It’s a fairly small museum and although some exhibits where not in operation due to Covid measures (touching and pushing buttons), it was still an interesting exhibition. Both for us adults and for the kids. My daughter especially enjoyed the space projection. She asked a lot of questions because the explanations are a harder to understand for kids. She can read Japanese but the explanations are too technical for kids to understand. This is a common problem with those kind of museums. Maybe a kids guide could be added in the future. They do have a really cool retro mid century modern inspired wallpaper about the history of aviation. It’s pretty and key information is added throughout in both Japanese and English. This would be a great add to the souvenir shop if not already available. Also for some reason the souvenir shop wasn’t open which my daughter was looking forward to as she’s super into space stuff. We spend about an hour inside and recommend a visit of you like space, submarines and energy related stuff.

It was very good place to see prototype of ship flight and rockets. They explain rocket functions in theater .best place for kids

An excellent museum that explains the different time periods of the port of Yokohama. English is available throughout and there are even fun simulator games to play.

The museum tells the history of the Japanese shipping industry from the landing of the first US ship on Japan's shores to the construction of Japan's ports and the first ship built in Japan. The museum uses pictures, audio and video for the narrative .

Great museum. Large and well made exhibitions. A little niche, but if you are interrested in history, this is a nice treat. When we visited it was too hot to enjoy walking around the sailing ship, but i'm sure it's also nice if you're not rushing through to get to the airconditioning of the main museum.

This was an awesome museum! It is very well done and I learned a ton about Yokohama history, how the port was built, and about boats and ships in general. The majority of the writing is in Japanese but just reading the English titles and looking at the visuals was worth while. There are multiple videos that have subtitles and a VR video experience that they can play in English. There are a few activities for kids. Highly recommend, especially if you have any interest in history or port operations/engineering. There was also a QR code for an English guide, but I didn’t even get around to it. Plenty to see and learn without it. Also a small, cute gift shop. Lockers available for small/medium bags.

A nice museum exploring the history of the Yokohama Port and its eventual destruction

interesting museum, i spend 1 hour in the museum and the cruise. the museum have english description for their display and animation.

Enjoyed going through and learning about the maritime history of Japan. Plenty of English translations so no issues for tourists to come and learn and enjoy. I only wish the souvenir shop had more variety for me to bring back something for keepsake!

Big park, I go to this place during spring season. The flower and Sakura are very beautiful. This place is also have a big playground and long slider for the children.

Mitsuike Park is a perfect spot for a relaxing day, especially for families with babies! The park is spacious, clean, and peaceful—ideal for stroller walks and quiet moments with your little one. There are plenty of shaded areas, benches, and open green spaces where babies can enjoy the fresh air. The calm atmosphere and beautiful nature make it a safe and soothing environment for both parents and babies. Truly a baby-friendly park that we’ll keep coming back to!

I visited in end of November to see autumn 🍂 and foliage. But it was not at it’s peak. Many of trees were still in green and slightly started turning yellow. But it’s a superb place one day picnic alone or with family. Especially kids will enjoy it. Parking fee 510yen except Cherry blossom 🌸 period(810yen). Park entry is free. There are small restaurants and food trucks to serve you Japanese and italian food. Vending machines are everywhere. Nice place for portrait photography too.

Lovely weather for a run in the park, lots of nice trails to explore. Not a super big park, probably about 1k for one lap around the large pond. Beautiful leaves changing colors this time of the year.

Undoubtedly this is Yokohama’s best park and a very underrated spot in the city. You can reach the park easily by bus from Tsurumi station. There’s plenty of bird life and many species of trees and plants to enjoy. The best time to visit is probably around cherry blossom time when the park really comes to life.

I went for cherry blossom season and really enjoyed the park ✨🎶 there are food trucks (at least on the weekend), several bathroom options, lots of space to walk around, athletic fields, and an area for kids (with a really really long slide!).. there were a lot of people with dogs so definitely heard the occasional barking and it’s a very used park for sure so don’t expect a quiet picnic 😂 but definitely recommend! Small warning: ⚠️ some of the toilets only have Japanese squat toilets. So if you can’t use them, you might need to walk a bit to get to a western style toilet. I took the bus from shitte station and it wasn’t too long or complicated to walk to.

Good park with lots of space for picnic. No barbeque. Take food to feed fish and ducks.

Came here for the Halloween decorations last weekend (Oct.6th). We took our 10 months old baby girl and she quite enjoyed how calm the garden was. There were some kids with their cute Halloween costumes! If you have kids or infants, would recommend coming here early like we did, since it was less crowded. The roses will be blooming soon, if you wanna catch the roses, I recommend coming in around 3rd week of October to early November.

I felt that the 1,500 yen ticket for adults was a bit too expensive. It’s actually a garden, but I expected it to be much larger. The main highlight was just the colorful roses. We visited in mid-May 2025, and by that time, about half of the flowers had already fallen. We spent less than an hour there since there wasn’t much to explore. On Google Maps, the ticket price was listed as 700 yen, which is why we decided to visit, but we were a bit disappointed. There’s a cafe inside the garden as well. For me, it’s more of a one-time visit. I don’t think I’d come back again.

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.

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.

It's a very relaxing place with a peaceful atmosphere. If the weather is cloudy and the sun isn’t too strong, it’s the perfect time to visit. I highly recommend this spot as one of the most calming and enjoyable places to unwind.

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.

Visited on June 2025. It was an amazing experience to see the hydrangea, roses and other flowers. Adult ticket was 1000 yen person. Recommended!

10/17/2025 - This is a must boat tour you should not miss if you have time while visiting Yukohoma. You can take a city tour bus at 220 円 ($1.59) and exit at the #12 stop. Walk to the Sea Bass Pier Yamashita Park 山下公園 横浜観光船 のりば（シーバス）to buy a ticket at 700 円 ($4.67) at a self-service kiosk and exit at HAMMER HEAD, yes, you can also exit at Yukohoma (The price is higher). The tour let you view the Yukohoma Skyline while sailing on the SEA BASS ZERO Tour Boat. The last tour to the HAMMER HEAD is at 5:00 PM, and Yukohoma at 6:00 PM.

Punctual service. You need to buy tickets at the pier and enter. The ride is not that long, but it gives a good view of the Yokohoma front.

Great water ride with a fantastic view of Minato Mirai

Fun, simple boat ride. AND STILL OPEN AS OF SUMMER 2022 -- just not at Yamashita-park. Open at other locations such as their AkaRenga and Yokohama station places, plus Hammerhead Port.

Nice walk along the waterfront with the boats nearby.

Reliable and punctual. I felt safe onboard. Try to get to the boat among the first to score the back open air seats!

A reliable and punctual ferry service connecting multiple tourist destinations. Good for sightseeing.
