Steeped in history, Negishi Forest Park originally opened in 1867 as Japan's first modern racecourse before transforming into one of Yokohama's most expansive public parks. Today, visitors can spread out across rolling grassy hills, wander through shady woodlands, and glimpse the grand architectural remnants of its storied past. It serves as an idyllic retreat from urban life, perfect for relaxing picnics, seasonal blossoms, and leisurely afternoon strolls.
