Rinkō Park, Waterfront park in Minatomirai, Japan.
Rinkō Park stretches along Yokohama Bay with grassy areas, a tidal pool, and an arch bridge overlooking the Minato Mirai district skyline. The grounds feature open spaces for walking and sitting while viewing the water and urban backdrop.
The park opened in 1988 as the waterfront was transformed from an industrial area into a public recreational space. Its development was linked to the construction of the Pacifico Yokohama convention center complex.
The green space draws visitors during seasonal events where people gather to enjoy traditional Japanese celebrations and contemporary performances. Locals use the park as a meeting spot for cultural experiences throughout the year.
The park is within a 5-minute walk from Minatomirai Station with direct access through Queens Square Yokohama shopping complex. The pathways are easy to navigate and there are plenty of seating areas for rest throughout the grounds.
The grounds feature distinctive wooden sculptures shaped like fruits and vegetables that create an unexpected artistic contrast to the urban harbor setting. These playful installations stand out distinctly from the modern architecture surrounding the area.
