Romantic Locations in Yokohama for Outdoor Lovers

1. Osanbashi Pier

This sleek, architectural pier offers sweeping views of the bay, city, and Yokohama’s iconic towers—King, Queen, and Jack. Legend has it that spotting all three brings your wishes to life. The wooden deck and open sky make it perfect for an unforgettable seaside proposal.

2. Sankei-en Garden

This traditional Japanese garden features ponds, historic teahouses, and seasonal blooms that change beautifully throughout the year. Cherry blossoms in spring and colorful foliage in fall make it an especially magical backdrop. Its peaceful paths offer plenty of quiet, intimate spots for a heartfelt proposal.

3.Yamashita Park & Pier

Located along the harbor, Yamashita Park blends flower gardens, fountains, and views of the iconic Hikawa Maru ship. It's perfect for a sunset walk followed by a romantic moment near the water. The calming sea breeze and glowing skyline make it feel timeless.

4. Yokohama Landmark Tower Observation Deck

Soar above the city and propose 273 meters in the air with panoramic views from the 69th floor. By day, see Mount Fuji in the distance; by night, enjoy twinkling city lights. It’s a bold, dramatic setting for a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

5.Kamonyama Park

Tucked on a hill, this peaceful park provides gorgeous cherry blossoms in spring and shaded walks year-round. With benches overlooking Minato Mirai, it’s perfect for couples seeking a quiet, meaningful location. It feels personal, local, and full of charm.

6. At-Home

Sometimes the most heartfelt proposals happen right at home. In Yokohama, transform your balcony, tatami room, or cozy dining space with soft lanterns, a meal from your favorite ramen shop or sushi bar, and a playlist of songs that mean something to both of you—maybe even a few J-pop love ballads. Add thoughtful touches like fresh seasonal flowers from the local market, tea candles, or framed snapshots of your favorite adventures to create an intimate and personal setting that reflects your love story.

7. Budget-Friendly

A romantic proposal doesn’t require a luxury budget. Yokohama is filled with scenic and heartfelt locations that feel unforgettable without the high cost. Stroll through the peaceful rose-lined paths of Yamate Italian Garden, pop the question with panoramic views at Harbor View Hill Park, or take in the city lights from the base of Yokohama Marine Tower. Explore the vibrant atmosphere of Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, where twinkling lights and waterfront views create a romantic setting. These simple yet meaningful spots provide the perfect backdrop for a proposal full of love and intention.
