Negishi Forest Park

Negishi Forest Park

Negishi Forest Park was established in 1866 as the first permanent facility in Japan where Western-style horse racing was held and sponsored by a foreigner's club. It was the largest racecourse in the East and was always crowded with people until it closed in 1943 due to the war. It was later opened in 1977 as a forest park and featured a large lawn at its center. Come watch the four seasons pass with the changing foliage. The park becomes especially crowded during cherry blossom season.Negishi Park is a happening place during cherry blossom season, however, no matter what time of year you need to visit the Equine Museum of Japan. This museum is not only about history, but also houses the imperial carriage and many retired racehorses.

It presents a wide range of the latest trends in Japan and abroad, from the works of internationally renowned artists to those of emerging artists.The appeal of this open art festival, which is held throughout the city of Yokohama, is that anyone can casually experience and enjoy art, even those who have few opportunities to come into contact with it. The entire city of Yokohama will be involved in the arts each time "From Yokohama to the World" is held. The 8th exhibition will be held from March 2024.
