This formal garden (free to enter) is lovely and extremely well-kept and has plenty of seating and some lovely shady trees. On one side there are great views of modern Yokohama which contrast with the lovely 1910’s Victorian Home of a Diplomat which overlooks the garden on the other side.
Not so far away from central parts, but different. Calmer, peaceful, well organized, lots of flowers, roses. This time of year not so flowerimpressive, but very well taken care of. Little shop, restaurant, benches for rest and shadow. Nice place!
Founder of Mr. Yoshiro Takanashi planted 10,000 roses when he built the Yokohama plant in 1959.
This rose garden is admission free. Takanashi is Yokohama based company famous for milk and ice cream. It's good place to take rose pictures in the midst of May.
