[2025 Yokohama Attraction] Travel Guide for Yokohama Landmark Tower (Updated Oct)

#summervacay Here's a fantastic Yokohama city walk itinerary, perfect for a day of exploring! 【City Walk Route】 Anpanman Children's Museum - Landmark Tower - Yokohama Air Cabin (Ropeway) - Yokohama Cosmo World Ferris Wheel - Red Brick Warehouse - Zounohana Park (Elephant's Trunk Park) - Yamashita Park - Yokohama Chinatown 【Transportation】 All these spots are quite close to each other, so you can easily walk between them! 🚶♀️ 【Detailed Itinerary】 Anpanman Children's Museum: Opens at 10:00 AM. Head to the second floor via the outdoor stairs to buy tickets (adult admission is 2400 JPY). Once inside, go to the third floor for the Anpanman show. It's mostly parents with kids, and the atmosphere is incredibly lively and immersive! Even if you don't understand Japanese, you'll feel the infectious energy. There are plenty of food, drinks, and play areas inside, making it perfect for families with young children. 👨👩👧👦🥖 Landmark Tower: After leaving the Anpanman Museum, walk through Shin-Takashima Park. In about fifteen minutes, you'll spot the tallest building – that's the Landmark Tower! Look for the Queen's Square building next to it, and then head to the adjacent Landmark Plaza shopping mall (which visually appears in front of the Landmark Tower). On the first floor, you'll find the famous Afuri Ramen, a great spot for lunch! 🍜 After your meal, take the escalator to the third floor of the mall. There's a dedicated exit on the third floor specifically for the Landmark Tower Sky Garden observatory. The admission fee is 1000 JPY. It's a bit like Shanghai's World Financial Center, though it only goes up to the 69th floor. From the top, you can enjoy panoramic views of Yokohama city! Plus, they often have special exhibitions – there was a Pingu exhibit when I visited! 🐧🏙️ #Yokohama #YokohamaCitywalk #JapanTravel #TravelGuide #AnpanmanMuseum

Just a great day with the family. So many shops to look at. It's such a wonderful venue for every tourist visiting Japan, Yokohama to be specific. Beautiful malls with a lot of good brand's shops inside. From cheap to top dollar, so something for everyone’s budget. Visited during Pokémon Worlds and it was beautifully decorated #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#foodphotography#langkawi#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด#edinburgh

In my honest and personal opinion, this city is way better than Tokyo. Landmark Tower is fancy. It has restos, high end shops and nearby tourist spots make scenic views from this vantage point. Superb centrally located hotel within the Yokohama bay area, surrounded by many shopping areas and entertainment areas. The rooms are large and ultra clean. I would highly recommend this place. #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#foodphotography#langkawi#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด#edinburgh

Yokohama Landmark Tower is conveniently located near Sakuragicho Station. Its base is a large shopping mall, integrating shopping and dining facilities. The building also has a high-end hotel 🏨, and the top floor is a famous observation deck for viewing the beautiful scenery of Tokyo and Mount Fuji 🗻. Here, you can spend a whole day and have fun. #Overseas Travel

#YokohamaTourism A pop-up shop at Yokohama Landmark I went to "Harry Potter Mahoutokoro" 🪄✨ There are lots of different goods that Harry Potter fans will love! From souvenir-sized Every Flavour Beans to authentic robes! I chuckled at Tom Riddle's diary 🐍 The first weekend the event was held, there was a long line at the register, so I recommend coming early to buy something 🤎 If you look closely, you'll see a letter to Harry on the tree in the store ✉️! It's addressed to Harry Potter at the bottom of the stairs, so be sure to look for it 🎄 〜〜〜Venue〜〜〜 Landmark Plaza 1st floor Festival 〜〜〜Event period〜〜〜 Thursday, November 10, 2022 - Sunday, December 25, 2022 #YokohamaCity #Yokohama #HarryPotter #popupstore #harrypotter #Landmark

I wanted to eat meat🥩 at Yokohama Landmark, so I dropped in. I visited around lunchtime on a weekday and was able to enter right away. There were many reasonably priced and delicious-looking menus at lunchtime, so I was undecided, but I ordered sirloin steak and hayashi rice. It was happy hour, so I also had some drinks🍺😊 This hayashi rice!! There were a lot of people ordering it, so I wonder if it's the recommended menu? It was very delicious with lots of meat😊 The windows are large and open, and the seats are nicely spaced apart, so it's safe. I'm sure the night view🌉 is beautiful at night~🥰 By the way, the number of stores in the Landmark has decreased~😭

[Access] Minatomirai Line, Minatomirai Station, about 5 minutes on foot [Attractions] ~Enjoy the height to the fullest!~ It takes about 40 seconds to get from the ground to the 69th floor. The view from the 69th floor is spectacular. It's so spectacular that you'll be shaking in your tracks just from the height. The Yokohama cityscape is like a diorama, which is interesting. You can see the city of Yokohama in 360 degrees, so it's a great deal. There is also a souvenir shop on the observation floor. There is a wide selection of souvenirs unique to Yokohama, so it's a great place to buy something to commemorate your trip. #SummerWeekendTrip

I went to Landmark Tower after a friend told me that I could eat delicious yakiniku there! The menu I ordered was the Dragon Course, a great deal where you can eat a menu worth 8,000 yen for 4,500 yen🫰🏻 Assorted appetizers, Kochori salad, sea urchin loin, black wagyu beef staircase (tongue steak, top skirt steak, secret kalbi, premium kalbi, samgyeopsal, pork shiso wrapped shrimp), wakame soup, beef tendon curry, dessert (almond tofu), and I also ordered green onion tongue salt! Everything was so delicious that I wanted to eat it forever...🫠 They also have an all-you-can-eat buffet on weekdays! They seem to use domestic meat for the all-you-can-eat, so I think I'll try the all-you-can-eat next time! The restaurant is underground, so you can't see the Minato Mirai scenery, but... 😰 If you want to eat delicious yakiniku, please come!

The Landmark Spa, located about 200 meters above ground on the 49th floor of the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel, a high-rise hotel in the Yokohama Landmark Tower, reopened on July 1, 2021, so I went to check it out 🌞 It was a warm day, so it felt like summer had arrived all at once 🌴 I hadn't been exercising much, so I went for a swim afterwards lol There was a jacuzzi and a hot spring, so it was a lot of fun ☺️🌴 #luxuryhotel #photogenicspot #hotelroyalpark

On the first floor of Yokohama Landmark Tower, there are many shops perfect for choosing gifts, from luxury gift shops such as GODIVA and Mrs. Elizabeth Muffin to chocolate specialty shop CHOCO LABO, which specializes in chocolate made with carefully selected cacao. It's also conveniently connected to Minatomirai Station. Landmark Tower is also recommended for dates. When you go out to the ground level, you can see the Ferris wheel and illuminations, and across the street is Nippon Maru. It's a waste to just shop in this area. #Valentine'sDay #trip2022

A heart-designed tumbler that is only available during the Valentine's season every year. Limited quantities are available at Starbucks stores. This year, there are also foldable eco-bags. The coffee that goes well with chocolate is labeled. This year's limited edition beverage is the Baked & Creamy Raw White Chocolate Frappuccino. This Frappuccino has a fun balance of sweetness and bitterness. Be sure to try it at any Starbucks store. The image is of Starbucks Coffee Yokohama Landmark Plaza. #Valentine's Day #trip2022

The road that runs along the harbor in front of Yokohama Landmark Tower is called Sakura Street. As the name suggests, it is known for its beautiful rows of cherry blossom trees in spring, but in winter it changes into a row of beautiful illuminated trees. Many people visit this seasonal attraction. #Illuminations #YokohamaLandmarkTower #SakuraStreet

In winter, illuminations are displayed in various places, but the illuminations in front of Landmark Plaza are also spectacular. In addition to the beautiful decorations in front of the building, the building itself is also beautifully lit up, making it a sight to behold. #YokohamaLandmarkTower #LandmarkPlaza #Illuminations

Landmark Plaza is a large commercial facility attached to Yokohama Landmark Tower. In addition to various fashion and miscellaneous goods shops, there are also many famous gourmet restaurants lined up, making it difficult to choose. The open-ceiling area is quite impressive. When I visited, the place was decorated for the Chinese New Year. #LandmarkPlaza #YokohamaLandmarkTower

Yokohama Illuminations Winter Photography Guide & 2025–2026 Illuminations Information Photography Tips: How to Capture the Best of the Three Major Spots 1. Yokohama Landmark Plaza "SPARK TREE" and Other Locations (Four Brands Including Disney) • Capture the Show's Afterglow: Shooting at a quiet moment after the lighting and video show will reduce crowds and allow you to focus on composition.   • Add Impact with an Angle: Shooting from a low angle, looking up from below, will highlight the tree's depth and height. • Capture the Interplay of Light and Video in a Video: Using a slow shutter speed or video is also a great way to create a mystical light trail. 2. Motomachi Shopping Street Illuminations • Compositions that Make the Most of Arches and Streets: Champagne gold light envelops the entire street—using arches and crossing lines as a guiding path creates a sense of depth.   • The lighting ceremony is a chance to capture the city's excitement along with the smiling faces of the people.   3. MARK IS Minato Mirai "FROZEN CRYSTAL TREE" • Showcase characters with silhouettes: Placing silhouettes of people in front of the Anna and Elsa statues creates a storytelling shot.   • Add depth with reflections and composition: Take advantage of the light reflected on the Galleria's ceiling and floor to create a fantastical reflection composition. ⸻ 2025–2026 Outlook for Yokohama's Major Christmas & Illumination Events ● YOKOHAMA MINATOMIRAI WINTER HOLIDAY (Landmark Plaza/Mark Is, etc.) • Highly likely to continue: 2024–2025 will see spectacular collaborations with Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars.

Tips for Photographing the Yokohama Landmark Plaza Christmas Tree & Light-Up Show + 2025–2026 Event Forecast ⸻ Photography Tips: How to Capture the Tree & Light-Up Show to its Fullest 1. Shoot During Breaks in the Show The lighting show takes place every hour from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, at 00:00, 15:30, and 45:45. After the show, the crowds thin out, allowing for beautiful, tranquil photos. 2. Include a mini stage or gift boxes in the frame to create a storytelling effect. Present boxes with brand motifs in front of the tree create an emotional composition. 3. Use a high ISO setting to prevent camera shake while beautifully reproducing the color of the light. When taking night shots, adjust the ISO and shutter speed to capture the tree's vibrant colors. 4. Emphasize Height and Impression with a Low Angle A low-angle shot, looking up from below, is an effective way to capture the dynamic beauty of the tree, which fills the atrium space. 5. Video and slow shutter shooting are also recommended. Videos that show the movement of the lights and capturing the light trails with a slow shutter speed create a special shot. ⸻ Outlook for the 2025–2026 Season: Forecast for Trip.com Moments • Similar events likely to continue The 2024–2025 season will see the launch of "YOKOHAMA MINATOMIRAI WINTER HOLIDAY," featuring collaborations with Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. These collaborations are likely to continue in 2025–2026, or new brand collaborations are expected. • The lights will remain lit from winter 2025 through New Year's Day. The 2024–2025 season will run until Monday, January 13, 2025 (national holiday). 2025–2026 is another chance to capture the New Year's spectacle. • Revamped special exhibits and photo spots In the past, we've seen a Marvel Star Wars exhibit at Sky Garden, as well as related exhibits at MARK IS Minato Mirai and the Sky Building. There's also the possibility of tie-ups with new films and characters in 2025-2026. ### [Light and Storytelling Together] Yokohama Landmark Plaza "SPARK TREE" Photography Guide & 2025-2026 Winter Forecast 📍 Landmark Plaza (Minato Mirai) **Photography Advice** - Shoot during the quiet moments immediately after the lighting show ends - Create a dramatic shot by utilizing the gift boxes and atrium - Capture the sparkle with a low angle and high ISO setting - Record the magic of light with video or a slow shutter speed **2025-2026 Outlook** - Expect the continuation of SPARK TREE + branding - The year-long illumination period is also appealing - Keep an eye out for new exhibits and photo spots at the observation deck and nearby facilities! **Recommended** #YokohamaChristmas #LandmarkPlaza #SPARKTREE #ChristmasIlluminations #TripcomMoments #SummerCampaign #AsiaTravel

Yokohama Museum of Art: "The Breath of the Avant-Garde" at the Permanent Exhibition "Hear the pulse of the times before a painting." A three-minute walk from Minatomirai Station, the Yokohama Museum of Art, with its impressive open glass facade and grand staircase, boasts an extensive collection of Japanese modern and contemporary art. In this permanent exhibition, I encountered artists who represent Japanese avant-garde art from the postwar period to the present day. ⸻ 🎨 Memorable Works Kazuo Shiraga Action painting is performed by artists who place their feet directly on the canvas and paint using their entire body. Standing before you, the splashes and thickness of the paint loom more as "traces of movement" than as "painting." The torrent of color that spreads from floor to ceiling awakens the viewer's physical senses. Atsuko Tanaka The "Electric Suit" and "Work" series are composed of vibrant circles and straight lines. The motifs of electric wires and lights are futuristic, yet the warm colors are striking. The intersection of technology and the body, of everyday life and art, is a delight. Mono-ha (Nobuo Sekine et al.) Stone, iron, paper, wood... By arranging natural and artificial materials in their natural state, the materials themselves are brought to life. The tension in the air changes the moment you step into the exhibition room. Although the pieces seem merely "placed," it feels as though the entire space is a work of art. Natsuyuki Nakanishi Known for his unique abstract expressionism, Nakanishi combines different materials and three-dimensional elements on the surface of his paintings, stimulating not only the visual sense but also the tactile sense. As you approach, subtle layers of color and texture emerge, making for works you'll want to linger in. ⸻ 🏛 Viewing Tips • View Kazuo Shiraga's work from a distance, then get closer and observe the brushstrokes (footprints) and the thickness of the paint. • Attention to the color composition and line movement of Atsuko Tanaka's work will help you understand its rhythm. • Walk through the entire space of Mono-ha art while imagining the temperature and weight of the materials. • Viewing Natsuyuki Nakanishi's work from different angles and distances will reveal different expressions. ⸻ 🎒 Recommended Items to Bring • Sketchbook or notepad: Record your impressions and composition on the spot. • Light jacket: The exhibition room is slightly cooler. • Smartphone or camera (photography allowed in designated areas only): For composition reference. ⸻ 🚶 Combining with the surrounding area • Enjoy lunch or a cafe at Queen's Square Yokohama or MARK IS Minatomirai before or after viewing. • Enjoy the port city view from the Yokohama Landmark Tower Observatory. • At night, we recommend heading to the Red Brick Warehouse for some nighttime photography. ⸻ 📌 Summary The Yokohama Museum of Art's permanent exhibitions go beyond mere art appreciation; they allow you to experience the eras and physical sensations of the artists.

This is the landmark observation deck at Cosmo World near Yokohama Minato Mirai. It's a city with the best night views, and the breeze kept it from getting too hot. It's a great place to visit even in summer, and the surrounding walking trails were also quite nice. We stayed at the Yokohama Minato Mirai Mitsui Garden Hotel, and enjoyed the welcome drink, the stunning view, and the outdoor pool. 👍 Excellent

A breathtaking skyline where sleek towers meet the sea. From the iconic Landmark Tower to the futuristic Ferris wheel of Cosmo World, Yokohama’s waterfront glows with life, especially at sunset. A perfect harmony of architecture, ocean breeze, and urban energy #historicallandmarks #localguides
