The area along Ooka River is one of Yokohama’s most popular hanami spots, where you can enjoy classic yatai street food while taking in the beautiful spring blossoms from around late March to early April. From okonomiyaki (Japanese savory pancakes) and yakisoba (stir-fried noodles) to takoyaki (cooked ball-shaped batter filled with octopus pieces), chocolate-covered bananas, and candied apples, the tasty options are endless!
