Harbor View Park in Yokohama

Harbor View Park（港の見える丘公園）in Yokohama is a mountainous park where you can get views of Yokohama Harbor and Yokohama Bay Bridge. This was the first time that we visited the Harbor View Park in Yokohama, although we have visited the spot all along for sushi near there. Yamashita Park is really the most popular and most famous park in Yokohama, but Minato no Mieru Oka Park is even more appealing than Yamashita Park, as it is less crowded compared to Yamashita Park, so you get to enjoy the park without having to share views and space with many other people.

The park is also located on a hill, so you get an excellent view of the Yokohama harbor, just like the parks name suggests. Harbor View Park is a park located in Motomachi, Yokohama, Japan Japan Yokohama, Japan, where you can enjoy the scenic views of the Yokohama harbor. Motomachi, Yokohama is an excellent spot to visit and get to experience the history Yokohama experienced as a port town.

The park is named after the popular post-war song, Minato-no-Mieru Oka, which is roughly translated to mean Hill With Views over the Yokohama Harbor. The area was once a settlement for foreigners when the port in Yokohama was opened, with British troops stationed at the top of the hill, and French troops at the bottom. Shortly after Yokohama Port opened for foreign trade in 1859, the location of Harbour View Park was where the British consul lived.

Although the barracks are now gone, Harbour View Park in Yokohama is the location of a number of Western-style buildings, including the Jiro Osaragi Memorial Museum, as well as the site of a former British consulate, now designated as a cultural property. This park is one of the most popular places for people to visit when they are visiting the Yokohama area. The nighttime landscapes at this park are among three main sites for the nighttime experience in Japan.

The name of Harbour View Hill Park comes from the famous song by the same name, which was composed by Tatsumi Azuma.
