Minato Mirai

Minato Mirai is Yokohama’s modern waterfront district, famous for its stunning skyline and wide range of attractions. It’s one of the city’s main sightseeing areas, home to some of Yokohama’s finest 4- and 5-star hotels.

The district features the iconic Yokohama Landmark Tower, offering panoramic views from its high observation deck, the historic Nippon Maru sailing ship, and the Yokohama Port Museum, which highlights the fascinating history of the city’s international harbor. Art lovers will enjoy the Yokohama Museum of Art, showcasing contemporary works in an architecturally impressive setting.

Minato Mirai is also packed with entertainment options. Visit Yokohama Cosmoworld, a lively amusement park illuminated by colorful lights; explore the interactive Cup Noodles Museum; or unwind at the Yokohama Minatomirai Manyo Club, a natural hot spring resort featuring both indoor and open-air baths, where you can even stay overnight.

The area is easy to reach via Minato Mirai Station on the Minatomirai Line, just three minutes from Yokohama Station. Sakuragicho Station, served by the JR Negishi Line and the Blue Line subway, is also within walking distance and only a few minutes from central Yokohama.
