Yokohama Marine Tower

Yokohama Marine Tower was built in front of the Yamashita Park as the symbol of the Port of Yokohama in 1961. It also played a role of the lighthouse until 2008. It is a 106 meters high and was once registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest lighthouse. It was refurbished in 2009 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Port of Yokohama. It is a very popular date spot for couples as it is illuminated at night. In the tower there are shops selling the Marine Tower original goods and items related to Yokohama, a restaurant serving menus cooked with seasonal ingredients, and a cafe and bar offering a relaxing time. You can also enjoy a view of the Minato Mirai 21 area and the Yokohama Bay Bridge as well as Mt. Fuji and the Tokyo Skytree if you are lucky with the weather from the observation deck located on the 29th and 30th floors. A 1-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line.
