Frequently asked questions

It's very wide, spacious, and green. There is an obvious effort to keep the park as green as possible. It was very relaxing there and the flowers are gorgeous. But it's not a place for multiple visits. Yet. I don't read Japanese and made the horrible mistake of sitting down on a patch of green that was off limits. Off limits space signs should be in multiple languages. The adventure course is too expensive; hopefully the fee is for unlimited time. Access to the park is inconvenient for those taking public transport. It's an ok place to visit just one time.

Two of my primary objectives were met when I chose to visit Satoyama Garden here in Yokohama, Japan: 1. No entrance fee; and 2. Pet friendly. Yokohama city took the extra effort to ensure that the park was mostly barrier free making it easy to bring family or friends who rely on wheelchairs to get around. The slopes in this shot are not that steep, making it easy to push a wheelchair (or a toddler's stroller) around and allow your family member or friend to enjoy the flowers up close! Satoyama Garden located adjacent to Yokohama Zoological Gardens Zoorasia is a city park accessible via bus from Nakayama Station on the JR Yokohama Line, or from Mitsukyou Station on the Sotetsu Line. Access to the park is free and pet-friendly, and wheel-chair accessible. Parking costs a flat fee of ¥1,000 yen for all-day-parking. The park also includes food trucks selling ice cream and snacks near the entrance, and tents are set up to sell garden related items, including small live plants. The park is basically a huge flower bed with an area of 10,000 m2, making it one of the largest in Yokohama city.
