2027-02-12 · อ่าน 9 นาที
A 296-metre skyscraper that was Japan's tallest building until 2014 — the Sky Garden at 69F offers the entire Minato Mirai bay panorama via Japan's second-fastest elevator (750 m/min).
The Yokohama Landmark Tower — Japan's second-tallest building at 296 metres — holds a Sky Garden observatory at 273 metres accessed by one of the world's fastest elevators (750 m/min). It gives you the entire Minato Mirai 21 waterfront, the Rinko Park cherry trees, Yokohama Chinatown, and on clear days Mt Fuji 95 km west.
