Yamashita Park Tourism

Yamashita Park is a public park in Yokohama, Japan, which is renowned for its waterfront views of the Port of Yokohama and the stunning Yokohama Bay Bridge. Established in 1930, it stretches approximately 750 meters along the waterfront in the Naka Ward. The park was created using reclaimed land after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, as part of the city's reconstruction efforts. Today, it remains a symbol of Yokohama's resilience and is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors to Yamashita Park will enjoy the scenic promenade lined with lush green lawns, seasonal flowers, and the iconic Hikawa Maru, a historic ocean liner permanently docked at the park, which now serves as a museum ship. The park also boasts an elegant water fountain, a rose garden, and multiple statues, including the renowned 'Girl with Red Shoes On' statue. With its relaxing atmosphere, the park is an ideal spot for picnicking, jogging, and sightseeing. It offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city and provides a picturesque setting for photography enthusiasts.
