About this Attraction
Located near the city centre, Yokohama Park is the second oldest park in Yokohama, opening to the public in 1897. Designed initially as a western-style public space during Yokohama’s early period of modernisation, the park has since evolved into a vibrant green space that blends modern and traditional Japanese elements. With the construction of Yokohama Stadium nearby, the park underwent extensive renovations, introducing features such as a Japanese garden-style pond and creek, fountains, a small river, and expanded multipurpose areas offering relaxation and recreational opportunities.
Yokohama Park is most famous for its spectacular tulip displays, which transform the park into a colourful floral paradise every spring. Around 140,000 tulips, representing approximately 70 varieties, are planted annually in November. Depending on the weather, these tulips typically reach full bloom between early and late April, drawing visitors from across the region who come to enjoy the vibrant scenery and take memorable photos.
Beyond its stunning floral displays, the park offers wide open lawns, shaded walking paths, and quiet seating areas perfect for picnics or a relaxing stroll. The proximity of Yokohama Stadium also makes it a popular gathering spot before and after baseball games and other stadium events.
Easily accessible from Yokohama’s main transportation hubs, Yokohama Park is a peaceful green retreat amid the urban bustle, providing a perfect blend of nature, history, and city life for locals and tourists.
