Yokohama Landmark Tower

About this Attraction

Standing tall at 296.3 meters, the Yokohama Landmark Tower is one of Japan’s most recognisable modern landmarks, located in the vibrant Minato Mirai district of Yokohama. Completed in 1993, this 70-story skyscraper remains the second-tallest building in Japan and a prominent feature of Yokohama’s waterfront skyline. Its unique architectural design, featuring flared bases and sturdy corner posts, combines aesthetic appeal with advanced earthquake-resistant engineering inspired by ancient Japanese pagodas. This structural flexibility lets the tower absorb seismic shocks, showcasing Japan’s cutting-edge building technology.

The Landmark Tower is an architectural marvel and a hub of diverse attractions. At the top, visitors can ascend to the Sky Garden Observatory, located on the 69th floor. On clear days, the observatory offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of Yokohama Bay, Mount Fuji, and even Tokyo’s distant skyline. The tower also houses the luxurious Yokohama Royal Park Hotel, which provides upscale accommodations with stunning views directly from guest rooms.

At the base, Landmark Plaza offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, featuring everything from global fashion brands to local restaurants and seasonal events. Whether visiting for the views, dining, shopping, or to admire the engineering brilliance, Yokohama Landmark Tower delivers a memorable experience for tourists and locals alike.

Conveniently accessible from central Tokyo, the Yokohama Landmark Tower is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Japan’s dynamic port city.
