Lovely place with architectural design that helps you travel all the way to Europe. On a sunny day, the gardens invite visitors to walk around at peace and enjoy the beautiful of its place. Going uphill to reach the place might be a bit rough but once there you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

Nice simple place to relax with a bit of history about Yamate area. On a clear day you can also see Mt. Fuji from the garden. Make sure to spend some time to go inside the diplomat’s house which is open for public viewing.

Lovely garden with a view that overlooks the town of Yokohama. Entrance is free and you can also go inside the Diplomat’s house. There is also a miniature version of the famous houses in Yamate area.
