FUN-travel: Jubilant Japan in Bloom! – Yokohama
April 4, 2018 by Susan Clarke
- Sankeien Gardens…
…traditional & typical Japanese-style garden that includes…
…ponds & streams with rambling paths & foot bridges.
The crown jewel is a three-storied Pagoda that sits high atop the hill…as if guarding the grounds…that include over 300 cherry blossom trees. It was originally constructed in Kyoto in 1457… and relocated in 1914.
Port of Yokohama…
…Yamashita Park…
…features flower beds of over 400 flowers…
…and lots of cherry blossom trees!
FUN-fact – San Diego is the sister city of Yokohama and the “Guardian of Water” statue was a gift.
