Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is a scenic waterfront park located in Yokohama, Japan, stretching along the city’s harbor. It was opened in 1930 and was built on land reclaimed from the debris of the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The park is famous for its beautiful views, green spaces, and historical monuments, including the Hikawa Maru, a retired ocean liner permanently docked there.
