What other travelers are saying about Yokohama Landmark Tower
It was already dark when we got to the tower. We were able to walk right in to the ticket counter, buy a ticket and walk right on to the elevator.
This elevator - is the fastest one in Japan. It's a 40 second ride to the top!
Once at the top, there were not many people up there. The snack bar was still open, so we bought some ice cream. The gift shop had closed down for the day - so no souvenirs from the top!

I felt at home in Yokohama. In my honest and personal opinion, this city is way better than Tokyo. The malls newer and lesser people. Landmark Tower is fancy... it has restos, high end shops and nearby tourist spots make scenic views from this vantage point. Best of all, parking was wide. 👍
Superb centrally located hotel within the Yokohama bay area, surrounded by many shopping areas and entertainment areas.
The hotel itself is what you would expect from a 5 star rated accommodation.
The rooms are large and ultra clean. The staff are very attentive and courteous but the main advantage of this hotel over all the other hotels is the view.
The hotel is the second tallest building in Japan and the hotel rooms begin on the 60th floor, Ours was on the 63rd and we could not fault it. The middle floors are offices and the lower floors are taken up by the massive shopping mall.which includes many restaurants and boutique shops.
I visited solely for views of MT. FUJI, since the Google Maps reviews claimed a “perfect” view with a picture (see below). “Perfectly clear” skies on online weather reports. It was completely covered by clouds, and the actual size if it were visible from this distance is actually very small unlike the other reviews’ pictures (TOTAL LIES ON GOOGLE MAPS!!! See below.) :( :( :(
I went to the top of the skyscraper to the observation tower. It felt weird - clearly this tower is not very popular as I was the only one riding the elevator to the top.
It's inexpensive and the vibe is more chill than the Tokyo Skytree. You can sit at the top and enjoy the view as long as you want. However, the view is perhaps less interesting if it's a cloudy day.
