Minato-Mirai (Yokohama Bay)


Little night session today in Minato-Mirai.

The name Minato-Mirai means "Harbor Future". This seashore place next to Yokohama City was constructed very recently (1984). It is very wide, open-spaced, and not very crowded. I like to go there from time to time, it feels a lot better than the crowded Tokyo districts like Shibuya.

You can find the Landmark Tower there, the tallest skyscraper in Japan (70 floors - 295,8m) and the Yokohama Museum of Art.
Minato-Mirai is also a nice place for shopping. There are some big shopping centers where you can find casual clothes and gadgets as well as brand marks and luxury.
