Spring Photography Guide for Yamashita Park

① Yokohama Marine Tower x Cherry Blossoms
• Shooting Spots
Walking from the central entrance of Yamashita Park (near the Hikawa Maru) toward Marine Tower, you'll find a spot where you can see the tower through the gaps in the cherry blossom trees lining the street. Looking up from the northeast side of the park (near the Sea Guardians Restaurant) is especially beautiful, capturing the Marine Tower beautifully through the cherry blossoms.
• Tips
• Looking up from a low angle: Using cherry blossom branches as a foreground blur makes the tower stand out.
• Evening to Blue Hour: The tower's illumination and the soft colors of the cherry blossoms shine brightly.
• We also recommend using a wide-angle lens to capture the cherry blossoms in the background with the tower.

② Hotel New Grand x Cherry Blossoms
• Shooting Spots
A row of cherry blossoms lines the sidewalk in front of the hotel along Yamashita Park Street. The classic exterior of the New Grand (the main building) can be seen through the cherry blossoms, so framing the shot from the park across the street will create a beautiful shot.
• Tips
• Use a telephoto lens to create a compression effect, closely superimposing the cherry blossoms and the classic hotel architecture.
• In the morning, the building is brightly illuminated by direct sunlight, while in the afternoon and evening, the cherry blossoms appear translucent and fantastical with soft backlighting.
• At night, it's also recommended to capture the contrast between the illuminated hotel and the cherry blossoms.

③ General Photography Tips
• Composition Tips:
For a well-balanced shot, keep in mind the "rule of thirds," using the cherry blossoms as the frame and placing the subject slightly off-center.
• Low-Crowd Times:
Early mornings and weekday afternoons are less crowded, allowing for relaxed shooting.
• Smartphone Tips:
Using portrait mode and blurring the cherry blossoms in the foreground will create a SLR-style result.
