Yokohama Marine Tower — Harbor Lighthouse Observation Deck

Yokohama Marine Tower (横浜マリンタワー) is a 106-meter-tall lattice tower originally built as a lighthouse in 1961 to commemorate Yokohama Port's centennial. Renovated and reopened in 2022, the tower now serves as observation deck, event space, and symbol of Yokohama's maritime heritage. The observation floors (29th–30th levels, 94m height) provide 360° views over Yokohama Bay, Minato Mirai skyline, Chinatown, and on clear days, Mt. Fuji.

The tower's slender profile and red-and-white color scheme make it distinctive landmark visible throughout Yokohama's waterfront. The lower floors house cafe, bar, and multipurpose event spaces. The surrounding Yamashita Park (Japanese garden along the waterfront) features rose gardens, the historic Hikawa Maru ocean liner (now a museum ship), and promenade with harbor views. The tower's location at the heart of Yokohama's tourist district makes it convenient combination with Chinatown, Red Brick Warehouse, and harborfront walks.
