🌹 Yokohama: Roses at Yamashita Park and a Gourmet & Cultural Tour of Chinatown

🌹 Roses at Yamashita Park, Yokohama, and a Gourmet and Cultural Tour of Chinatown

The best time to see the roses that adorn Yokohama's early summer is mid-May to early June. At Yamashita Park's "Future Rose Garden," approximately 2,000 rose bushes of 190 varieties bloom in the sea breeze, creating a truly captivating photo opportunity alongside the port city scenery.

📸 Recommended Photo Spots at Yamashita Park
• With the Marine Tower in the background: Capturing the tower through the red and pink roses creates a truly Yokohama-esque shot.
• With the Hikawa Maru: The combination of ship and flowers creates a truly exotic atmosphere.
• The arch around the fountain: Using the rose arch as a frame for a portrait creates a picturesque atmosphere.
We also recommend taking silhouette photos, taking advantage of the soft light in the morning or the backlight in the evening.

🍜 Lunch at Bairan

It's just a short walk to Chinatown. Their specialty is Bairan Yakisoba. The outside is crispy and the inside is filled with melty hot bean paste. It's generously portioned, making it perfect for sharing. Their seasonal dim sum sets are also popular, making them the perfect way to fill your stomach after a stroll through the roses.

🍵 Tea Time at Goku Tea House

Take a break from your stroll at Goku Tea House. This Chinese tea specialty shop offers fragrant oolong and jasmine teas carefully brewed by tea masters. The tranquil atmosphere of the second-floor teahouse allows you to relax while gazing out the window at the retro Chinatown cityscape.

🏮 Cultural Experience at the Guandi Temple

Finally, head to the beautiful, vibrantly decorated Yokohama Guandi Temple. Guan Yu, the god of business prosperity and academic success, is enshrined here. Walking around the temple grounds with incense in hand, you'll experience a soothing experience as you soak up the majestic aromas and scenery. At night, the temple is illuminated, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

🌏 Summary

Yamashita Park's roses are a beautiful flower spot, offering a view of the harbor, typical of Yokohama. From there, enjoy authentic cuisine and tea in Chinatown, then visit the historic Guandi Temple. This is a recommended route for condensing all the charms of Yokohama into one day.
