Though not the largest green space in Yokohama, this elliptical forest park in the Naka Ward has a paved running circuit which, at about 1.5 km, is ideal for laps or a quick run. It’s a former horse racing track, still tucked between the Equine Museum of Japan and the remnant moss-covered entrance of the former racecourse. In addition to shade from the diversity of tree species, the track includes rolling hills and views of the pond and sprawling lawn, so the course is never boring. Located conveniently between Negishi and Yamate Park, it’s a good option for runners visiting the south or west sections of Naka Ward. It’s also an incredible run when the cherry blossoms are in bloom!

Other Routes in Yokohama, Japan
The favorite running route in Yokohama, the bayside parks and promenades of Minato Mirai offer scenic views of the waterfront and its futuristic architecture. We’ve mapped 5k and 10 km routes, but there are lots of options for variation.
Shin-Yokohama, a large park right outside the station of the same name, has great running paths around Nissan Stadium and the surrounding fields, with easy connections to the Tsurumi River and canal paths.
The best option for a long distance run in Yokohama is the paved bike path along the Tsurumi River. Although it is interrupted by many street intersections, it goes on for over 21 km to the Onda River.
Another seaside green space along the south coast of the city, beachy Marine Park and the nearby Nokima Park and Yokohama Sea Paradise theme park offer up to 6.3 km of paths.
