basic information

Landmark Tower

Minato Mirai literally means "the harbor of the future". It is a futuristic, new city area in Central Yokohama consisting of office and residential space, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, convention centers and public parks. Development of Minato Mirai was started in 1983, and it is still going on.

The Landmark Tower (296 m) is one of Japan's tallest buildings and the symbol of Minato Mirai 21. It was completed in 1993 and houses many offices, a hotel, restaurants, a shopping center and other community space.

Visitors can access the building's observatory deck, the "Sky Garden" on the 69th floor by means of one of the world's fastest elevators (750 meters per minute). Under good air conditions, Mount Fuji can be seen from the observatory deck.

Pacifico Yokohama is one of the world's largest convention centers, located a few hundred meters from the Landmark Tower. It includes the roundly shaped Yokohama Grand Intercontinental Hotel, which, together with the nearby Ferris Wheel (of Cosmo World amusement park), makes one of Yokohama's most typical sights.
