4.5 based on 2,264 reviews
When Japan emerged from centuries of isolation in the mid-19th century, Yokohama was a tiny seaside village, home to only 100 people or so. But as the tide of internationalization rose, a port was established and Yokohama began to grow as a gateway to Japan. Yokohama is now a leading international trading port, the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo. Situated just a short distance along the coast from the Japanese capital, and within easy reach of Haneda Airport, Yokohama is now a magnet for tourists not just from Japan but from every corner of the world; it's a place everyone wants to visit. Minato Mirai 21 is a modern urban development that was created, and continues to evolve, on 186ha of land. A shipbuilding facility that used to divide Yokohama's two main urban centers on Tokyo Bay was relocated, and additional land was reclaimed from the sea. In 1989 an exposition was held to mark the 100th anniversary of Yokohama's city status and the 130th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port. Following that event development gathered momentum, and now the area boasts office blocks, commercial facilities, hotels, amusement parks and convention facilities, as well as such cultural amenities as art museums and concert halls. This, the new face of Yokohama, offers an entire spectrum of urban functions and attracts more than 70 million visitors every year. Minato Mirai 21 is full of great experiences. The liberating expanse of Tokyo Bay and the dynamic appeal of the contemporary architecture contribute to the area's strikingly unusual beauty, which you can enjoy from the elegant surroundings of several first-class hotels. For the shopper, more than 600 stores offer an astonishingly broad selection of goods ranging from top fashion brands to animation character merchandise. Apart from excellent Japanese cuisine, delicious food from around the world is available at more than 200 restaurants. Theme parks offer exciting rides, parks a place to sit and enjoy the seascape. Packed with pleasure, Minato Mirai 21 is a fun place to visit with family and friends at any time of year, on any occasion, and for so many different reasons. If you move on to the area beyond Minato Mirai 21, you'll find intriguing glimpses of a fascinating history in the Kannai district, which developed quickly in the second half of the 19th century after the Port of Yokohama opened, and beyond Kannai you'll arrive at Japan's largest Chinatown. Yokohama offers points of interest that no other city can match. And just a day trip away are some of the best hot spring baths in Japan at Hakone, as well as the globally renowned beauty of Mt. Fuji. So after a day of fun in Minato Mirai 21, you can spend the night at one of the area's great hotels and then the next day you can be soaking in an onsen or admiring a view of Mt. Fuji. That is the special appeal of a relaxing holiday based in Japan's new leading tourism and leisure destination: Minato Mirai 21.

Minato Mirai is by many accounts one of the best places to visit in Yokohama. The area is conveniently located two train stops away from Yokohama station. Minato Mirai has several shopping centers within close proximity of each other, lots of cafes and shops, as well as a carnival style amusement park full of fun and exciting rides, plus a ferris wheel. The Yokohama Hard Rock Cafe is located in Minato Mirai. Minato Mirai also offers a beautiful view of the port and Yokohama Bay. There's places full of activities for families with children as well as romantic spots for couples. The historical Red Brick Warehouse of Yokohama is also in the area. The Red Brick Warehouse often has a lot of interesting events worth checking out. If you go to Yokohama without visiting Minato Mirai, then you are missing out.

The Shopping Mall is very large with many floors, each floor has various stores, loads of eating places to choose and loads of Shopping from International clothing to Japanese brands too. The mall has a Train Subway which is very cool as the price for train ticket is cheap for travel to Work and back, including travel to various destinations to Tokyo as well for Holiday and sight seeing. The Mall is situated near the Bay/Harbor and all the convention and exhibition centers as well. Lots of entertainment for young and old. I love this place, as all the people here are friendly and very warm welcome to Japan. I rate this place 10/10

This new Anpanman theme park is a must go for the kids (below 6 years old) even if they don't know who is Anpanman or can't speak Japanese. The shows are very entertaining which you can guess what they are doing. The indoor playground is fun. A lot of cute merchandise, and the characters are everywhere, even in toilet bowl. The bakery shop sell Anpanman character bread and the food court also have a lot of Anpanman food. However, if you are going by yourself or group of adult, I suggest you to skip this as you may not be able to feel the joy here.

As noted by others, this museum has a wonderful, extensive collection and terrific working model train setup. The best part (for which you need to reserve a time slot on entering the museum) is donning an engineer's hat, sitting at a realistic throttle, and guiding your model train along the tracks, monitoring your progress on a computer screen viewing the scene from a camera at the front of your locomotive.

I recommend to go here if you want to bathe in natural hot spring near Yokohama station. Over 18 years old are allowed to enter. Therefore adults are able to be relaxed at this spa. It is affordable to enter here , about $20 per person. There are good service too like massages,beauty treatment,hot yoga class(charged). If you have an opportunity to go near Yokohama station,I recommend to go there and take nice experience. 横浜駅近くで天然温泉が楽しめるって知ってましたか？しかも露天風呂あり。 ほかにもロウリュウや岩盤浴もあり、お値段もリーズナブル。 18歳以上しか入れないので、比較的静か。 地元民も愛用するスパです。

Awesome place to find Pokémon merch you won't find anywhere else! And if Pokémon isn't your thing, there's other anime stores in the building. When I visited there was both a Shonen Jump store and a Studio Ghibli store a floor or two below the Pokémon Center. I visited in 2012, so this may be outdated.
