Japan: San-kei-en, Yokohama. Beautiful Japanese Garden found in the city. Took it for granted all my life!

As I organize all my recipes that I have been accumulating the last few weeks, I wanted to post some photographs I took from my trip back home to Yokohama a couple months back. 

This is "San-kei-en" 三渓園, located in Honmoku, Yokohama. It is a beautiful Japanese garden. I've known about it, heard about it all my life, but had only been once (for a school trip back in elementary school). This time, when I visited, I was able to feel and see the actual beauty of this garden. I took it for granted all my life! I wish I had gone more frequently. It truly is a wonderful place to visit. I was able to reconnect with Japanese culture and appreciate the country I was born in.

A 15 to 20 minute drive from Yokohama station is all it takes. I didn't know I was so close to something so pure, natural and breathtaking.

Entry fee is cheap; a couple hundred yen (few dollars). Since it is located in the middle of a residential area, I highly recommend visiting by car. They have a decent parking lot so you shouldn't find any trouble. The park is also accessible by public transportation. 1 bus from Yokohama station. To get to the park, you'll have to walk/drive through narrow residential roads; which also are unique and fun. :) 

Address: 58-1 Honmokusannotani, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture 231-0824, Japan

Access: 
  • Bus #148 from Yokohama St. or Sakuragicho St. or Motomachi-Chukagai St. (About a 30 min ride)

I love the pictures. So pretty. I've been here before and I really want to go there again! I remember seeing the tall bamboo trees there...it was so beautiful. Visiting there is like jumping back in time!

Thank you for your comment!
It is hard to believe this place is located in Yokohama :-) did you visit any other Japanese gardens?

I've never been to Japan, although is a long-time dream of mine. Mostly, I would like to visit the most traditional towns and the lovely gardens. I think is just a beautiful and elegant country, full of tradition and gorgeous places. Thank you for this post*
