Here is my favorite place for cherry blossoms viewing. It takes 30 minutes from Yokohama Station by bus. And we have to pay the entrance fee to enter. But it is worth visiting cherry blossoms season under the blue sky. The cherry blossoms is beautiful with a big pond, old Japanese houses in Japanese garden.

I have visited Sankeien Gardens many times since I was a child and if you are in the Yokohama area, it is a must to see. The best times to go are during the Spring and Autumn seasons when the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom or various trees are ablaze with reds and yellows. Famous centuries old buildings...

This is a place I keep going back to -- to recall previous visits and to find a quiet and pleasant escape from the megalopolis surrounding the gardens.

This is a beautiful park / garden in the middle of Yokohama. There is a nice pond filled with Koi and there is a cafe that offers bread to be fed to the koi. When the KOI come, they swarm in mass. You can enjoy a beer there too.

Even though I visited on a rainy day, I still was able to enjoy the amazing beauty and tranquility of the gardens. I took the bus from the Yokohama Station which was very easy to do with my Pasmo Card. At the gate I paid the 500yen admission fee and was given an English map of the grounds. The irises... More
