Yamashita Park

Naka Ward, Kamakura

4.3★★★★★★★★★★25.3K reviews

A seafront park running along the harbour, with gardens, benches and views of the ships and bridges. Moored alongside is the Hikawa Maru, a 1930s ocean liner you can tour. It connects the waterfront walk from Minato Mirai with Chinatown and the bluff, and its rose gardens bloom in May and October.

Good to know

  • The park was built on rubble cleared after the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake.
  • The Hikawa Maru sailed between Yokohama and Seattle before the war.
  • The statue of the "girl with red shoes" recalls a well-known Japanese children's song.
