Yokohama Landmark Tower

The Yokohama Landmark Tower (Yokohama Randomāku Tawā) is the third tallest building and fifth tallest structure in Japan, standing 296.3 m (972 ft) high.

The building contains a five-star hotel, the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel, which occupies floors 49–70, with 603 rooms in total. In April 2025, the hotel was closed for renovations. The lower 48 floors contain shops, restaurants, clinics, and offices. The building contains two tuned mass dampers on the (hidden) 71st floor on opposite corners of the building.

The observation deck ‘Sky Garden’ on the 69th floor of Yokohama Landmark Tower will temporarily close after its New Year’s Eve operation on 31 December 2025, due to large-scale renovation work within the building. After the completion of the renovation, it is scheduled to reopen sometime in or after 2028.
