Minato Mirai 21

Minato Mirai 21 (みなとみらい 21), often referred to as the “harbor of the future,” is a cutting-edge waterfront district in Yokohama, where modern architecture meets entertainment and culture. Once a sprawling shipyard, the area was redeveloped in the 1980s into a bustling urban center, housing some of Japan’s most iconic structures. Dominating the skyline is the Landmark Tower, which held the title of Japan’s tallest building from 1993 to 2014, along with other impressive high-rises. The district offers a wide range of attractions, from luxurious shopping centers and stylish hotels to museums and even a lively amusement park, making it a perfect destination for both sightseeing and relaxation.

The area’s skyline is a striking feature, with the Landmark Tower, the Queen’s Towers, and the brightly lit Cosmo World Ferris Wheel offering breathtaking views. Situated along the waterfront, Minato Mirai also features lush green parks, serene hot spring baths, and the Pacifico Yokohama convention center, making it an ideal place for visitors to unwind. With its blend of entertainment, leisure, and innovation, the district continues to evolve, offering a wide array of experiences—from cultural exhibitions to relaxing waterfront strolls—that cater to all kinds of travelers.
