Minato no Mieru Oka Park is one of Yokohama's most famous parks, located in Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. As its name suggests, it is a popular observation spot located on a hill overlooking Yokohama Port, with a panoramic view of the Bay Bridge, large ships passing through the port, and the skyscrapers of Minato Mirai. The night view is particularly beautiful, and the glittering city and port scenery captivates visitors and creates a romantic atmosphere. It has also been the setting for many stories and songs, including appearing in the lyrics of B'z's song "TIME".

The greatest attraction of this park is not only the magnificent view from the observation deck, but also the beautiful gardens. There are several gardens with different themes, such as the "English Rose Garden" and the "Rose and Cascade Garden," where you can enjoy flowers of all seasons. In particular, in spring and autumn, colorful roses bloom in full bloom, giving off a sweet fragrance, and many people are soothed by their beauty. The space where the observation deck and garden are integrated allows you to fully experience the charm of Yokohama.

Minato no Mieru Park is a place of relaxation loved by locals as well as tourists. There are cafes and restaurants in the park where you can relax and enjoy the view.

[Trivia]
This park is famous for the lyrics of B'z's Inaba's song "TIME": "On a sunny day like this, let's climb the hill together - on a hill overlooking the harbor".
If you're a fan of B'z, I think you'll have a great time if you go and listen to "TIME" on your smartphone's audio player.
