Shikinomori Park

Shikinomori Park is a large green space in Yokohama featuring gardens, ponds, and playgrounds spread across several landscaped areas. The different zones offer varied experiences, from quiet water features to open spaces for activities and walking.

The park opened in 1988 during Japan's period of economic growth as a new public green space. Its creation reflects how Yokohama was expanding its recreational facilities during that era.

The name reflects Japanese appreciation for seasonal changes, and visitors notice how the landscape transforms through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Walking through different sections, you can see how people gather in various spots depending on the season and what blooms.

The park is accessible on foot from Nakayama Station on the JR Yokohama Line, with entrances at different locations. Checking which entrance is closest to your route beforehand helps you plan your visit more efficiently.

The park features a hilltop pavilion offering elevated views of the surrounding area, along with an amphitheater where visitors and locals gather. These spots become particularly lively during events and good weather.
