Nature Walks at Negishi Forest Park

#springitinerary If you're looking for a peaceful escape in Yokohama, Negishi Forest Park is a hidden gem. It’s got this super laid-back vibe, perfect for a lazy afternoon stroll or a quiet picnic. The wide-open lawns are ideal for chilling out, reading a book, or just watching clouds float by. There are plenty of shady spots under tall trees, and the walking trails are easy to follow, even if you’re not much of a hiker. What makes it extra cool is that it used to be a horse racing track, so there's a bit of quirky history too. You’ll spot some horses nearby at the equestrian grounds, which is a fun bonus. And in spring, the cherry blossoms here are absolutely stunning without the crazy crowds. All in all, it’s a great spot to recharge, breathe in some fresh air, and get away from the city noise for a bit.
