The name of Harbor View Hill Park comes from a popular song of the same name, with the words and music by Tatsumi Azuma (東辰三). He was a resident of Kobe, another port city, so the song is also known as related to Kobe.

Inside Harbor View Park are found: a rose garden, a large fountain, the British House, the 111 Yamate House, the

Osaragi Jiro Memorial Hall, the KKR Porthill Yokohama Hotel, the Yokohama Meteorological Observatory, and the Kanagawa Museum of Modern Literature.^[1]

Across the street from Yokohama Harbor View Park is the main campus of Yokohama International School. The historic Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery is also located nearby and the area is one of Yokohama's most popular tourist destinations.
