Yamashitachō Park, Urban park near Chinatown, Yokohama, Japan
The park stretches 750 meters along Yokohama's waterfront, featuring green spaces, fountains, monuments, and a promenade with views of passing ships.
Following the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, the park emerged from rubble of the Kannai district through Scottish advisor Marshall Martin's recommendation.
Several monuments within the park represent international connections, including the Indian Water Fountain and the Guardian of Water sculpture from San Diego.
The park connects to Motomachi-Chukagai Station and links with Osanbashi Pier through the Rinkosen promenade, offering multiple transportation options.
The Hikawa Maru ocean liner, which transported Charlie Chaplin and the Imperial Family between 1930 and 1960, stands as a museum beside the park.
