2026 Hotel New Grand Garden of Light and Christmas Tree Decorations: A Full-Day Course

This day visits a winter tradition at Hotel New Grand, the classic hotel standing across from Yamashita Park. The Garden of Light in the main building's courtyard and the Christmas tree decorations in the Tower Wing's first-floor lobby usually run from mid-November through early March; last year they ran from November 15, 2025 to March 1, 2026 (with the Christmas decorations up until December 25). Viewing is free (the 2026-27 schedule has not yet been announced, so please check the official information before heading out). In the early afternoon, enjoy street food in Yokohama Chinatown, then take a leisurely stroll by the sea at Yamashita Park. Once the sun sets, cross over to the hotel and be enveloped in the refined light unique to a classic hotel. This is a winter walk through Yokohama that favors elegance over flash, the kind of outing that makes both adults and children stand a little straighter.
