Yokohama Marine Tower

Yokohama Marine Tower is a 106-meter high tower in Yokohama with observation decks on its top two floors. The tower was first opened in 1961 and formerly operated as a lighthouse until it was retired from this role in 2008. Refurbished as a tourist attraction, the tower is illuminated with colorful lights in the evening and is an iconic part of Yokohama’s skyline.
