Travel to Japan

Must See Attractions in Yokohama If you're only planning to be in Yokohama for a short time, these are the key sights we recommend Sankeien Garden Sprawling over 17.5 hectares (42 acres), this traditional Japanese garden in Southern Yokohama is one of the city’s finest green spaces. Sankeien Garden was commissioned by silk merchant Tomitaro Sankei Hara, and is home to a number of historic buildings, including a feudal residence, teahouses, and a 3-storey pagoda on a hill within the garden. The central pond is one of the garden’s main visual draws, but you could spend several hours wandering around its winding trails and discovering the many small waterfalls, streams, ponds, footbridges, and bamboo groves in the garden. Sankeien is especially popular in spring for the cherry blossoms – don’t forget to try the cherry blossom-flavoured ice cream – and in fall for the gorgeous maples and ginkgo trees. Opening hours:  9am-5pm (last entry 4:30pm) Nearest transport:  Bus: 5-minute walk fr
