Weeping Cherry Blossoms in City Park

Location: Yamashita  Park, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan Timestamp: 20:44 March 15, 2023

This photo showcases a lovely night vista of weeping cherry tree blossoms (Prunus pendula / ”shidare-zakura” in Japanese) located in Yamashita-Koen Park. The trio of trees can be found adjacent to a large rose garden, situated on the opposite side of the road from the historically renowned Hotel New Grand (established 1927). Depending on your vantage point, you may also be able to include Yokohama Marine Tower in the backdrop of the cherry blossoms.

These three trees were generously donated and relocated from Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan to Yokohama by the former Yokohama-East branch of Lions Club International back in 1993.

Nightscape of the Port of Yokohama

Location: Zou-no-Hana Breakwater, Port of Yokohama, Japan Timestamp: 19:06 March 15, 2023

Zou-no-Hana Breakwater is an offshore structure located in the Port of Yokohama, which is a major seaport in Japan.

In this shot, I have used a lifebuoy to frame one of the many beautiful and picturesque views from the breakwater, where visitors can see the illuminated Yokohama Marine Tower and the Hotel New Grand, both of which are located right across the street from the lovely Yamashita-Koen Park on Yokohama’s waterfront.

The Marine Tower is a landmark of Yokohama and stands at 106 meters tall (348 ft) with observation decks on the 29th and 30th floors. It is illuminated at night and adds to the beautiful scenery of the area.

The Hotel New Grand is a luxury hotel that was built in 1927. It has a rich history and has hosted many famous guests over the years. The hotel offers a stunning view of the bay and is known for its excellent service and hospitality.
