Yokohama Skyline at Night

Fri, December 16, 2011, by Muza-chan

Many cities in Japan have beautiful skylines, but you can rarely enjoy a vantage point over the skyscrapers like in Minato Mirai 21, Yokohama.
The Kishamichi Promenade is an amazing place, especially on a dry, windless night, when the reflections on the water becomes spectacular!

I took this photo on a winter night around the New Year (you can see some Christmas decorations still hanging on the light poles). The group of three decreasing height buildings visible on the left side is the Queen’s Towers and next to them, the building with blue sign is the Pan Pacific Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu. The rounded building is the landmark Yokohama Grand InterContinental Hotel and the ferris wheel is the Cosmo Clock 21, located inside the Cosmo World amusement park:
