Things to do in Yokohama, Kanto: The Best Nature & Parks

May 26, 2021 Diedre Savory

Yokohama is easily accessible from Tokyo, but there’s enough to see and do here that it’s worth more than a day trip. Visit Minato Marai 21, a popular, modern neighborhood with great shopping and tons of restaurant options. TripAdvisor travelers also recommend stopping at Big Wharf (Osanbashi Pier), a uniquely shaped pier with spectacular views.

Reviewed By renen05 - Yokohama, Japan

Me and my family went to Negishi Shinrin park during sakura season. The park was surrounded by these beautiful sakura trees. We brought our own food and had a picnic there.There are also vendo machine and food shops nearby. There was also a playground in the area which my kids really enjoyed. Very good and relaxing view from the top of the hill. Nice place to have walk or jog specially in the early morning. One interesting fact is that this was once a horse race track. On some Sundays, there are horse and pony ride with a minimal fee. Please try to visit and I am sure you will have a relaxing time. Imagine green all around you!!!

Harbor View Park

Reviewed By 472marianneh - Sydney, Australia

We turned left from the Osanbashi Cruise Terminal and walked through the beautiful flower gardens in Yamashita Park. It took about half an hour. We followed the sign for Harbour View Park and climbed many steps to the park. It was windy but there were great views of the harbour and again many beautiful spring flowers. Bed upon bed of them. It was definitely worth the climb.

Yokohama Omoshiro Aquarium

Funny aquarium is an aquarium motif with a small small south island elementary school motif. When I go into the school gate, the shoe cask aquarium first! In the principal's office gymnasium warehouse, music room, etc. inside the hall are like making elementary school. In front of the aquarium, a three-choice quiz on fish name and ecology is being asked! It is an aquarium where you can learn about fish as well as enjoy watching fish. Baby aquarium is a cute kindergarten motif aquarium. I am exhibiting fish eggs and babies that I can hardly see. There is a slide and jungle gym aquarium, etc., and you can enjoy fishing fun while playing. The height of the aquarium is looking at the child's eyes, and you can watch the aquarium while hi-hi.
