Yokohama Landmark Tower

The former tallest building in Japan, you can take a quick ride to the 69th floor for great views from Yokosuka to Mount Fuji. There is a library, coffee shop, and gift shop at the top. There is ample seating and space to spend time at the top of the building. Highly recommend giving this a try if you are in Yokohama.

Wasn’t sure I wanted to go up another observation tower after so many in Tokyo, but this was absolutely worth it. Not just amazing views of the city, but the waterfront and the port are breathtaking. A bit hard to find the entrance to the “Sky Garden”, the actual name to the observation portion. Best bet is to go from the JR Sakuragicho station, taking the escalator up and walking you should eventually see it on the right.

Quite different vibe from other towers you visit in Japan (well… every one of those is different from others actually). Spacious design, linked to Queens Square making it convenient to hang out at Minato Mirai 21 area.

Easy to buy ticket, 1000Yen. Then you hit 750 meters per minute and your at the top in seconds. 360 degree views, cool Star Wars display. You can see for miles and as far a Tokyo. Grab a beer and a seat and enjoy the views. Worth a visit!

This is definitely worth it!! The fastest elevator in Japan. Stunning Panoramic view at the top of Yokohama City.

Splendid view, I went there before the sunset time, you can have the beautiful view of yokohama and surroundings from the top. Cheap to go up and the view is far better than view from the top of Tokyo sky tree. Inshort the ticket price is worth it. There is also amazing view of mount Fuji and it was just amazing. There are also gift shops and cafe at the top. Must recommended place to visit in Yokohama.

Very nice tower with an amazing view! Cheap to go up and not very busy. There is an amazing view of Fuji - and it was worth it, just for that! There is a little gift shop, cafe and books to read at the top.

Worth a visit. be sure to get there before sunset and stay till night time. The side with the ferris wheel is packed quickly so secure a spot or else it would be hard to take pictures. There was a small Marvel exhibit when I was there so that's a bonus!

Gorgeous views of Yokohama and the surrounding areas. If you want sky-high views, Landmark is a cheap option compared to Tōkyō (¥1000 for adults). It's the third tallest building in Japan (as of Feb 2024) at a height of 296 metres. You'll climb to the top in a lift reaching a speed of 750 metres/min.

One of the most symbolical buildings in Yokohama. It's old but does not look old because of high maintenance. It was packed with couple and families last weekend.

I arrived at the tower around 5:30pm, the perfect evening time to see all the city lights while the sky still colorful and not as dark. Absolutely stunning 360 degree view of charming Yokohama city. You also get to see a proper view of Tokyo Bay and the famous Cosmo Clock 21 giant Ferris Wheel which lights up in the evening throughout the night. Luckily, the skies were very clear during the day I went. So I got to see a clean view of Mt. Fuji. That was my most memorable highlight of the day, absolutely magnificent. This landmark tower also feature the fastest elevator in Japan. I personally would call it "catapult" elevator just because the speed allows this elevator to reach the 69th floor in about 40 seconds. Hands down, the most interesting elevator ride ever! Possibly my favorite city view so far, even better than One World Observatory in New York. Oh, you get to experience all this for just 1000 yen. Simply amazing.

Landmark Tower is the second tallest building in Japan. It has a Sky Garden Viewing floor which costs 10 bucks to get up to, and if the skies are very clear you can see Fuji (though be careful, even if its sunny out that doesn't mean you will be able to see it, has to be haze free). It's primarily a mix of office and hotel, with a mall and restaurants on the bottom floors. Some of the restaurants are quite good, there is an American place called Bubby's on the first floor that is pretty delish, crazy wait times for food though, the hamburger takes about a half hour. There are also some interesting shops, ranging from Coach in the high end to a Pokecenter and a Ghibili shop. Also has a grocery store with a wide selection of imported goods, and a conbini just for good measure. Really its got a little bit of everything, good place to visit, shop, or grab lunch or dinner if you're near by.

Shopping....All Encompassing. You'll definitely be able to find your size at one of the many department stores! Hard Rock, and a Krispy Cream nearby. Try the worlds fastest elevator to the 69th floor (about $10.00); view is great at sunset and amazing at night. Overall friendly staff, most speak English, very clean and there's a floor for your kids entertainment.

Aside from the great shopping and dining options in Landmark Tower, the SkyTree is really where its at. For 1000 yen, you take the Guinness record holding elevator for the fastest to the top floor to see a full 360 degree view of Yokohama. It is quite breathtaking to see. There is also a small cafe/bar at the top floor as well as a gift store if that is your thing as well. As far as the shopping is concerned, there are plenty of options such as your typical clothing shops to the Pokemon Center on the fourth floor. There is also a 7-11 on the first floor if you need an ATM. The location is also great too since there is plenty to do around the area such as the Art Museum. Close to the Minatomirai stop.

Incredible views of Yokohama. While on this trip I also had the opportunity to go to the top of the SkyTree in Tokyo and found this to be a much more enjoyable experience. It was far less crowded, not as high (yet still very high) and I thought the view was better and more scenic.
