As mentioned on Yokohama Living, Zo no Hana Park was officially opened on June 2nd and while we couldn’t get down there for the opening ceremony or the events we did get down there to grab a few snaps. It was a little crowded though and we didn’t have much time so we will get back down there for more photos when we get the time. While the park is smaller and plainer than I had imagined it is still a nice addition to Yokohama’s waterfront and it is just a couple of minutes from Aka Renga on foot.

There are quite a lot of ships in Yokohama this season, some of which have already been mentioned here on Yokohama Living such as the Cuautemoc sail training ship from Mexico. (Check out some photos of Cuautemoc.) Japan’s own Kaiwo Maru II was also here for a short time and I managed to snap a few photos a few days ago. It was here as part of the Port Opening Festival (Kaikousai).
