Yokohama Port Symbol Tower’s Grassy Plaza

Location: Honmoku Pier, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan Timestamp: 16:18 on Sept. 6, 2023

From the observation deck of the 58.5-meter tower located at Honmoku Pier, near the mouth of the Port of Yokohama, you can enjoy some nice views especially on a clear day.

When looking south, you'll be treated to a panorama of the well maintained grounds surrounding the tower.

During my visit, my dog and I found ourselves alone, except for two maintenance staff members who were patrolling the area. I enjoy exploring these lesser-known locations where you can freely capture photos and relish the scenery in solitude.

The parking lot and the area around the tower are open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with extended hours from 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. between July 21st and August 31st.

Many years ago, you used to have access to the park at night, but now there is a gate that even restricts pedestrians from entering the grounds, which is quite disappointing. 😢

For convenient navigation and additional information, you can refer to the Pix4Japan blog post, which includes Google Maps links to the tower, parking facilities, and the nearest bus stop.
