2026 Full-Day Course: Night View at Yamashita Park (山下公園)

This is a day for the whole family to enjoy the harbor night view at Yamashita Park (山下公園), one of Yokohama's leading waterfront parks. The park is open all day and free to enter (parking is paid), with well-maintained parking and restrooms, and its stroller-friendly paths are a plus for families with children. In the early afternoon, stroll the exotic Motomachi Shopping Street (元町ショッピングストリート), then visit the Yokohama Doll Museum (横浜人形の家), right next to Yamashita Park, to see its collection of dolls from around the world. In the evening, the highlight is sitting on a bench by the sea and savoring the transition as the sky darkens and the lights of the Bay Bridge (ベイブリッジ), passing ships, and the Minato Mirai area come on one by one. The seaside gets cold after sunset in autumn, so don't forget a jacket. On your way back, choose well-lit streets and hold your child's hand as you walk.
