Yokohama View

  Jan 14th, 2010

The Landmark Tower in Yokohama gives a great view of the whole City. It is the tallest building in Japan at 296 metres. The view from the 69th floor observatory deck is great on a clear day.

  1. Gorgeous photos! I really should have gone up the landmark on my (very brief) visit to Yokohama.

  2. uwa~~ i like yokohama a lot for some reason. so thanks for the photos!

  3. Great pics! Such a beautiful day and the theme park was empty? Must put Yokohama down on my list to visit when I get to Japan.

  4. daaaaaaaaamn. Awesome view !
    I’ve always walked past/underneath/next to landmark tower but never been inside. Didn’t know they had an observatory (tough a building that large it’s gotta) And even higher than my favorite observatory in Tokyo; Mori art tower .

    I love Yokohama, it’s a totally different vibe from Tokyo, and indeed so close, you can easily get a train there and depending which one/ where you get on it can take 30 minutes. Too bad it’s winter, there are some nice parks there.

    P.S Did you ever go to the “Raumen” museum in Shin Yokohama ? It’s amazing ! Look it up if you haven’t heard of it.

  5. Lovely shots – such a great view from up there! I’m really looking forward to getting down to Yokohama next time I’m in Japan : )

    Meanwhile, does that rollercoaster in #46 finish in the water? It just seems to stop there. #21 cuts it off just above the point in question…

  6. Beautiful day for photos. Pretty awesome that you can see the Tokyo skyline from Yokohama :)

  7. At first sight I thought it was the Burj Al Arab in Dubai… my eyes were like O___O

    Great pics, really!!

  8. via @Shibuya246: Yokohama View, Japan Photo-Post | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/DIKe Another place to visit if i ever make it over there. In all saying a great set of photos, and a trip w/your family all wrapped up in one.

  9. Yokohama was definitely my favorite spot that i visited when i went to Japan. It was so refreshing and the air felt nice compared to Tokyo. I find myself staring mostly at Yokohama stadium.. im so amazed by it for some reason lol

  10. Looks like some dirt on the lens here? What is a good way to clean the lenses?

  11. Zo no Hana Koen (Elephants Nose Park), originally part of the landscape. Other land around it is reclaimed from the water.
