Yamashita Park
山下公園
A seaside park built on rubble from the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. Watching the sea, the ships and the roses here is the classic walk along Yokohama Harbour.
Yamashita Park opened in 1930 on land reclaimed with rubble from the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. It extends about 750 metres along the coast. Benches face the harbour, where you can see the Hikawa Maru, the Bay Bridge and passing ships. The park has memorials including the 'Girl with Red Shoes' statue and the Indian Water Tower. The rose garden in the middle, known as the Fountain of the Future, is at its best when the roses bloom in May and October. The park is open all day and free to enter. It is about a 3-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station, and it works well as part of a half-day route with Chinatown, the Hikawa Maru and Marine Tower.
