Landmark Tower - Yokohama, Japan

We went up the Landmark Tower in Yokohama, Japan at the start of October 2008.  This was one of my highlights in Yokohama and I definitely recommend the experience for those visiting Yokohama.  It is a little pricey at $10, however, you get a superb view of the city and a fun ride up the elevator.

The Landmark Tower is actually the tallest buildling in Japan and has the highest observation platform in Japan.  The elevator ride takes 40 seconds to go up 69 floors.  You can actually feel your ears pop as you go up the 297 meters!  This works out to almost 1000ft!

We went up the Landmark Tower at night because we though it'd be neat to see Yokohama at night.   It's really quite the sight at the top of the Tower.  The number and density of the lights is truly amazing.  It's also neat to see Tokyo in the distance and you can pick out the Tokyo tower too!

We spent quite a while at the top taking pictures and walking around the observation floor.  There is a spot to sit and have a romantic drink if you so desire.  We popped around the corner and had a hot-chocolate from the vending machine as there was a nice place to sit and nobody around.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our trip up the tower.  On the walk back to our Hotel Toyoko Inn Yokohama, we stopped and took another few night shots of the Landmark Tower and large Ferris wheel.
