Parks — Kanagawa Prefecture

Yokohama Cosmo World is a vibrant amusement park known for its iconic Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel and thrilling rides like the Vanish! roller coaster. Visitors appreciate its free entry and pay-per-ride system, allowing for a flexible experience, especially enjoyable in the evening for stunning city and bay views.

Hokokuji Bamboo Grove is ideal if you're tired of crowds and architecture. If you arrive right at opening, there's a chance to stroll the grove's paths alone and quietly enjoy tea. Entrance is 400 yen; matcha with traditional sweets is 600. If you plan to visit Kyoto as well, you can skip its famous bamboo grove — it's very crowded there.
