Yamashita Park, Scenic park in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan

The waterfront park extends for 750 meters along Yokohama Bay, featuring landscaped gardens, walking paths, and multiple monuments throughout its grounds.

The park emerged from the rubble of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake when local authorities decided to reclaim the damaged waterfront area in 1930.

The park contains several international monuments, including the Indian Water Fountain and the Guardian of Water sculpture from San Diego, representing global connections.

Visitors can reach the park within five minutes from Motomachi-Chukagai Station or take the Akaikutsu Loop Bus that connects to major tourist locations.

The preserved Hikawa Maru ocean liner, which transported passengers between Yokohama and North America from 1930 to 1960, now functions as a museum ship.
