OVERVIEW
Yokohama Nature Sanctuary
Sakae-ku 栄区 YOKOHAMA CITY 横浜市
KANAGAWA PREFECTURE 神奈川県
Area  2 Square Kilometers
Relative Location Southern Yokohama, Near Rt 23
Absolute Location 139°58' East Longitude 35°34' North Latitude
Yokohama Nature Sanctuary is located in Sakae-ku in
Yokohama.  The sanctuary is operated by city for use by
citizens and visitors alike.  It lies next to several other
nature and park areas that have been established by the
local government. Although located on the edge of
Yokohama, visitors are often surprised at how quiet and
"out of town" it feels.  This is especially surprising when
one considers that the Yoko-Yoko highway is located a
stone's throw away.

Four major trails twist their way through the park:  
  • Mizuki Trail (dogwood)
  • Konara Trail (acorn)
  • Tanpopo Trail (dandelion)
  • Uguisu Trail (white eye bird)

These trails and shorter side trails offer  hikers
and bird-watchers alike a chance to see variety
of flora and fauna.
