Yokohama Marine Tower
横浜マリンタワー
A 106-metre lighthouse-style observation tower built in 1961, renovated and reopened in 2022, with views over Yamashita Park and the harbour.
Yokohama Marine Tower was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the port's opening. It stands 106 metres tall and once doubled as a lighthouse. It is one of the tallest land-based lighthouses in the world. It reopened in 2022 after renovation. The observation deck, at about 100 metres, overlooks Yamashita Park, the Hikawa Maru, Chinatown and the Bay Bridge. On clear days you can see Mount Fuji and Tokyo Skytree in the distance. At night the tower's exterior changes colour with lights. Admission starts at about ¥1,000, and it is a little higher on weekends and in the evening. The tower is opposite Yamashita Park, about a 1-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station.
