Overview
A sweeping hilltop park built on Japan's first Western-style horse racecourse, with ruins and bay views.
Built on the grounds of the Negishi Racecourse (established 1866), this expansive park preserves the original grandstand ruins, a striking concrete structure overtaken by vegetation. The rolling lawns offer panoramic views of Yokohama Bay, and on clear days, Mt. Fuji appears on the horizon. A small Horse Museum on the grounds tells the story of equestrian culture in Japan.
