Western-Style Architectural Ruins of Yokohama's Negishi Racecourse
Explore the Remains of Japan's First Western-Style Racecourse and Modern Architecture with Cherry Tree-Lined Paths in Negishi
In a corner of Negishi Forest Park in Naka Ward, Yokohama, stands the remaining first-class horse observation stand (grand stand) of the Negishi Racecourse, which was established in 1866 as Japan's first Western-style racecourse. The Art Deco-style building, designed by J.H. Morgan, still impresses visitors with its grand appearance despite being in ruins today. The spacious lawn park is also known as a famous cherry blossom spot, making it a hidden gem where you can simultaneously enjoy history and nature.
