Before you visit
Combining the harbour and garden
Reaching Sankeien from Yokohama’s harbour requires a bus journey. If you visit both on the same day, allow time for the bus both ways. For a leisurely garden walk, you can also set aside a separate half-day.
Year-end closure and temporary changes
Closed 26–31 December. Events or disasters may alter opening hours, so check the garden’s notices for your visit date.
