- Travel / Tourism
- Kanagawa Yokohama-shi Naka-ku Sakuragicho 1-101-1 Cross Gate
- This garden is located on the roof of the Cross Gate shopping mall connected directly to Sakuragicho Station and a one-minute walk from the station.

Kanagawa Areas
Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
