Yokohama City Center

- Marine Tower, Yokohama Stadium, Yokohama Park

Except for the port area around Mirato Mirai 21 business district and Chinatown, the city center of Yokohama is quite impersonal, with typical Japanese modernist lowrise and midrise buildings, a few highrises, stores and restaurants. The biggest difference from Tokyo is that the roads are much smaller and more narrow, except for the port area where you find highways and large roads. It is also slightly rougher then Tokyo, rough with Japanese standard still means very modern and clean though (though you can find more edgy clubs). Marine Tower from 1961 is a famous landmark, one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. It is situated right between he waterfront and Chinatown. It is 106m tall and has an observation deck. The lights are flashing red and green at dark, every 20 seconds. Yokohama Stadium, Kanagawa Prefecture Hall and Yokohama Customs Bldg with its tower are other landmarks in the center of Yokohama. Except for in Chinatown, neon signs are quite rare. Central Yokohama is mostly flat, but in the outskirts there are hilly residential areas.
