Reviews

• “Going upstairs to see the night view at night will give you a different feeling than during the day. It is worth going up to see it.”
• “This is a place with relatively few tourists compared to other places, but the scenery is very recommended, especially on the last day of the trip, you will find that you have visited almost all the places below, and the impression is particularly deep.”
• “The ticket exchange process was very easy, and the observation deck gave my family and I a 360-degree view of Yokohama. I recommend arriving at dusk for a more captivating view.”
