Visiting tips
Combining the harbour and garden
Reaching Sankeien from Yokohama’s harbour requires a bus journey. Allow time for the return bus trip if visiting both on the same day. For a leisurely garden walk, you can give it a separate half-day instead.
Year-end closure and temporary changes
Closed December 26–31. Events or disruptions such as natural disasters may change hours, so check garden notices for your visit date.
