It was opened on June 2, 2009 with the aim of becoming a "base where various people and cultures meet, connect, and create new culture" in the port, which was a place where culture and culture meet. It is a comfortable rest house (resting place) that also serves as an art space, with Yokohama Port spreading out in front of you.
A large elephant greets us at the entrance. It is a symbol of dialogue and vitality that will continue to look at the progress of Yokohama's 150th anniversary and strongly guide Yokohama and humanity in the future.

There are also flyers for art events held in neighboring areas such as Kanagawa and Tokyo, mainly in Yokohama. "ZOU-NO-HANA LIBRARY" is also available, and you can enjoy reading art books and picture books on the terrace while drinking tea.
You can also purchase products from the miscellaneous goods brand "Slow Label", which was born from a project that connects facilities and companies for people with disabilities in Yokohama City and artists who are active in Japan and overseas, and works to create a new system that makes the most of their unique characteristics. All are handmade one-of-a-kind items.
There is also a cafe where you can enjoy the popular Zounohana soft serve ice cream and Zounohana beer.

Aiming for a terrace that is more open to the public, the salon "Snack Zou no Hana" creates encounters and interactions with people. Artists become mothers/masters and create opportunities to interact directly with visitors while drinking alcohol in one hand.
ENJOY ZOU-NO-HANA
Development of urban tourism content that makes use of the artist's creativity, which we have been working on since the opening request in 2009. Various sign works that enhance the presence of Zou-no-hana Terrace and various art programs that propose ways to enjoy Zou-no-hana Park are being developed.
Other unique events such as "Picnic Live", "Seaside Library", "Seaside Concert", "Classroom + Tour Series: Zou-no-Hana Hajime Monogatari", etc. are held irregularly. While taking a walk along the coast of Yokohama, stop by Zou-no-hana Terrace. A wonderful encounter that can only be found here is waiting for you.
