  Yamashita park     

Most famous and historical park in Yokohama. A popular date spot for young couples. 1 km far from Yokohama Marine Tower (wheelchair accessible) to Osanbashi Pier (wheelchair accessible). NYK Marine Museum is also wheelchair accessible. But wheelchair users find it hard to enter Ship Hikawa Maru because this ship has no lift. This ship is cultural heritage, so it cannot be remodeled to install a lift inside.
