The Sky Garden

If you’re visiting this area (probably for the cup noodle museum, let’s be honest!) then it’s absolutely worth spending less than 1,000Yen to go up the Landmark tower. The lift up is very fast, like scary fast, but the actual 360 observation level is well laid out, and an absolute perk was that there was a nice bar up there selling some good craft beers and sparkling wine cocktails! We luckily snagged a sofa seat overlooking a cloudy Mt.Fuji side whilst the sun was setting, however the view over the city and waterfront itself is worth the visit regardless.

There is no better spot in Yokohama to admire these amazing views of Yokohama harbor, bay, and the Tokyo skyline! What's more, is that it only costs a maximum of 1000 yen per person (search online for coupons), compared to some 2500-3500 prices in Tokyo. There was zero wait time (we went at sunset) and no overcrowding anywhere. They even have a bar upstairs that sells drinks, snacks and ice cream. There is enough seating for everyone to take a break and not having to sit on the floors like peasants. To top it off, there is minimal glare on the windows from lights in the back, and the windows were clean. I would 100% come here again and I recommend this to anyone visiting Yokohama!

100% recommend spending the money to go up here! It's an excellent viewpoint of the area. We went up just before sunset so we had to luck of seeing everything before, during and after, it was beautiful. There's a little cafe up there and a gift shop as well as a coin/medallion collectable machine you can then engrave. On one side of the the viewpoint there are chairs and small tables for the cafe area, the rest of the windows have chairs and dimmed light to minimise spoiling the view. We went up on a Thursday evening and it wasn't too busy. There's also a little area you walk through where they have a map of the area projected onto the floor and as you walk over it, it shows you how what used to be in the area. Above each window is a picture naming the areas and buildings you can see. Make sure you don't miss it!

I went to the Sky Garden on a Thursday immediately when it opened. There was barely anybody there and it was perfect for me and my special lady to get a complete scoop of the Amazing scenery of Yokohama. They even have a food bar that serves delicious snacks and very tasty ice cream. I recommend getting the Vanilla and the Cider ice cream mixed it’s very delicious. Overall I give the Sky Garden 5/5 it’s definitely worth it . The Weekends get very crowded but it’s still worth it.

Went to the Landmark Sky Garden on a Tuesday mid day. There was no line, however it was a pretty cloudy day. If I were to do it again, I would plan to come on a clear day, and I would try to make it happen at the end of the day. I would try and catch the sunset hour so you can see the skyline during the day, catch the sunset and then watch the city scape light up at night! The view is pretty spectacular, but it is a bit pricy.
