Yokohama Marine Tower Renewal

Yokohama Marine Tower will be renovated and reopen for business on September 1. The exterior walls of the low-rise portion of the tower will be greened to create a sense of unity with the surrounding environment, including Yamashita Park, and to create a natural flow of people and a space for relaxation. Various events will be held in the plaza in front of the tower. The observation floor, located approximately 100 meters above the ground, has been redesigned as a media art gallery where visitors can enjoy video works while viewing the scenery. On the second floor, there will be a lounge space with books, photo collections, and artwork related to Yokohama, as well as a tourist information center, "Yokohama Travel Library & Community Lounge. As for restaurants in the facility, the casual restaurant "Eggs 'n Things," which was located in the nearby "Star Hotel Yokohama" (closed in 2020), will return as a Yokohama Marine Tower branch.The third floor will be used as a bridal space.
