The rose garden at Minato Mirai Park is so spacious and high quality you wouldn't believe it's free!

This park is located on a hill overlooking Yokohama Port, and is especially popular for the colorful roses that bloom in spring and autumn. It's amazing that you can see this for free! It's so spacious that you'll be impressed, and the roses are well-maintained. The rose tunnel in Photo 1 is one of the most popular photo spots. It's extremely difficult to take pictures of this place without anyone, especially on holidays, so I went there at 5:30 in the morning, but there were more photographers than I expected, so it was still difficult to take pictures. Still, there are fewer people than during the day, and there are four tunnels, so if you wait a little, you'll have a good chance of taking pictures without anyone. The yellow tunnel in Photo 2 is even more difficult to photograph. There is only one tunnel here, and it seemed like photographers who wanted to take pictures of pets and children were waiting in line, so when I went there last year, I gave up on taking pictures without anyone. The photo was taken in 2022. Photo 3 is a low-angle shot of the rose path. I thought the combination of the old Western-style building and the roses in photos 4 to 6 was nice. Photos 7 (2024) and 8 (2022) show roses floating in water. The type of roses seems to change depending on the year. #tripDomesticTravel
