Yokohama Marine Tower: QR Ticket & Digital Port View Guide
from $13
Yokohama Marine Tower tickets start at $13 on GetYourGuide, where a QR e-ticket covers general admission to the observation deck. That is the only listing I can book, and it has no ratings yet. Google Maps rates the tower 4.2 from 4,337 reviews. The deck is at 100 m, per Wikipedia, and I would go about an hour before sunset.

I checked every one of the Yokohama Marine Tower tickets I could book through GetYourGuide right now, and there is a single product, so this page is short on purpose. Prices come from the listing in US dollars, checked in October 2026. Facts about the tower come from Wikipedia, Wikidata and the official site. Links open GetYourGuide in a new tab, and I earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you.
The white lattice tower stands on the waterfront next to Yamashita Park, and it is one of the older harbour landmarks in Japan. Before I buy Yokohama Marine Tower tickets I check these numbers, each with its source.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Observation floor | 29th and 30th floors, per the official site |
| Indoor or open-air | The listing describes a two-story observation deck; it does not mention an open-air level |
| Also on 30F | A media art gallery open 18:00 to 21:30, per the official site |
| Address | 4F, 14-1 Yamashitacho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 231-0023, per Google Maps |
| Opening hours | 10 am to 10 pm Tuesday to Sunday, Monday closed, per Google Maps |
| Google rating | 4.2 from 4,337 reviews, per Google Maps |
The official site shows the same 10:00 to 22:00 hours for the observation floor and posts a maintenance closure for Monday 19 October 2026. It also says one elevator is under repair, so weekend entry is restricted and may take longer. Wikipedia explains where the tower sits.

Yokohama Marine Tower observation deck tickets come as one product on GetYourGuide: the Yokohama Marine Tower QR Ticket and Digital Port View Guide, sold by a local travel partner who goes by Jiajia. It is a standard ticket and not a tour, so there is no guide on site and no fixed itinerary. The listing includes general admission to the observation deck, a digital orientation guide for the port view, and a direct QR code entry service.
One detail matters more than the price. The QR code on your GetYourGuide booking page is only a confirmation. The operator sends the real admission QR code to your email or WhatsApp, and you scan that at the gate. The listing says same-day bookings are welcome and that cancellation is free up to 24 hours ahead. It lists food, drinks and transport to the venue as not included.

Yokohama Marine Tower tickets and prices are simple to compare, because there is only one product to price. The e-ticket is $13, and nothing else on GetYourGuide bundles the tower with a tour or a city pass today. If you are travelling as a group, this calculator works out the total and links to the booking page.

Prices are the lowest per-person prices on GetYourGuide when I last checked; the final price depends on the date, time slot and age.
I could not read the tower’s own admission prices on the official site, because the page only links to a separate prices and hours section that I could not open. Compare the $13 with the yen price shown there on the day you book. I have not converted yen into dollars, since the rate moves.
Reviews of Yokohama Marine Tower tickets are thin. The GetYourGuide e-ticket has no rating and no reviews yet, so I cannot tell you how other buyers found the booking process. Google Maps gives a firmer picture of the tower itself: 4.2 from 4,337 reviews. That is a solid score for an older tower, though it sits below the 4.5 that Google gives the Sky Garden at Yokohama Landmark Tower, which is a bigger and newer deck about 2 km away.
My reading of the numbers for Yokohama Marine Tower tickets: people like the setting and the harbour outlook, and the score is held back by age and the lower height compared with the Landmark Tower. Neither the listing nor Google Maps tells me about queues, so I would book a weekday or go after the evening rush.
Yokohama Marine Tower tickets get you onto the observation floor, which takes up the 29th and 30th floors, according to the official site. The listing describes a two-story deck with 360-degree views of Yamashita Park, the Minatomirai skyline and the Yokohama Bay Bridge. On the 30th floor there is also a media art gallery, which the official site lists from 18:00 to 21:30, so it only matters if you go in the evening.
The tower reopened on 1 September 2022 after closing in April 2019 for renovation, according to Wikipedia. That makes older blog posts unreliable for the current layout. Wikipedia also records that the tower closed in 2006 and reopened in 2009 for the city’s 150th anniversary, so it has a long habit of coming back.
You do not need tickets for the tower to eat there, because the tower has food on several floors, according to the official site. The Terrace restaurant is on the 4th floor, and the ground floor has Eggs n Things and Bar Noble. The bar is open 16:30 to 23:30, which suits a drink after your visit. The 2nd floor has a shop, a travel library and a lounge run with the Yokohama City Guide Association.
Yokohama Marine Tower tickets do not cover meals, as the listing says food and drink are not included. For a bigger choice I would walk to Yokohama Chinatown, about 0.6 km away by straight line, where Google Maps shows 49,550 reviews.
For photos from the deck, the evening is the time, and I would book Yokohama Marine Tower tickets for a late slot. The listing promises sparkling city lights and illuminated ships after dark, and the harbour is at its busiest then. The Bay Bridge and the Minatomirai skyline are the shots people want, and the digital port view guide that comes with the e-ticket helps you name what you are pointing at.
Glass reflects at night, so I would press the camera close to the window and avoid the flash. If you want a shot of the tower itself rather than from it, Yamashita Park is 0.23 km away, and Osanbashi Pier’s Whale’s Back viewpoint is about 1 km along the waterfront, rated 4.6 on Google Maps.
Buying tickets for the Yokohama Marine Tower puts you in Naka Ward in Yokohama, Japan’s second-largest city, a short train ride from Tokyo. If you collect observation decks on a Japan trip, the nearest ones on this site are in Tokyo, about 26 km away: Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo City View and Shibuya Sky.
Yokohama Marine Tower tickets are cheaper than most of those and the crowds are smaller, but the deck is lower at 100 m. It is a calmer harbour view and not a skyline one. Wikipedia lists it as the world’s tallest lighthouse by some definitions, a claim the same article says depends on what counts as a lighthouse.
Winter is the clearest time for Yokohama Marine Tower tickets. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data, January had the lowest average cloud cover at 37%, followed by February at 41% and December at 43%. The cloudiest months were May at 87% and October at 78%, and March had the most rainy days, 17. Sunset runs from 16:29 in December to 18:58 in June.

Sunset and cloud cover for the same dates in 2025 at the deck (Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5), 2025); sunset moves by about a minute between years.
I would arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset, so you see the harbour in daylight, then the lights. In winter that means a late afternoon visit, and Yokohama Marine Tower tickets bought the same day work, as the listing welcomes same-day bookings.
With Yokohama Marine Tower tickets you stand 100 m up, where the horizon is a long way off, and this calculator shows how far for the deck height.

Yamashita Park is the closest, 0.23 km (0.14 miles) away. Yokohama Chinatown is 0.63 km (0.39 miles) and the Red Brick Warehouse 1.2 km (0.75 miles), while Cosmo World with its Ferris wheel is 1.8 km (1.1 miles) and Yokohama Landmark Tower 2.2 km (1.3 miles). Harbor View Park Observatory lies 0.5 km (0.32 miles) away, and the Whale’s Back at Osanbashi Pier is 1.0 km (0.6 miles). On a clear winter day the listing says you may even see Mount Fuji in the distance.
Google Maps lists several other viewpoints in the city. I have not found a source for their prices, so I mark them as to be checked locally.
| Deck | Google rating | Reviews | Distance from the tower | Free or paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yokohama Marine Tower | 4.2 | 4,337 | 0 km | Paid ($13 e-ticket) |
| The Sky Garden, Yokohama Landmark Tower | 4.5 | 3,105 | 2.1 km | Check locally |
| Harbor View Park Observatory | 4.4 | 2,655 | 0.5 km | Check locally |
| Yokohama Port Symbol Tower | 4.1 | 1,619 | 3.6 km | Check locally |
| Nogeyama Park Observation Deck | 4.1 | 444 | 2.5 km | Check locally |
| Whale’s Back (Osanbashi Pier) | 4.6 | 202 | 1.0 km | Check locally |
None of these is on this site yet, so there are no other Yokohama pages to link to. The Sky Garden rates higher on Google, and it is higher in a taller building, so for a skyline I would pair the two on separate days.
The QR e-ticket on GetYourGuide costs $13 and includes general admission to the observation deck plus a digital port view guide. I could not read the tower's own admission price on its official site, so check marinetower.yokohama for the yen price before you compare.
The official site lists the observation floor as open 10:00 to 22:00. Google Maps shows 10 am to 10 pm from Tuesday to Sunday and Monday as closed. The official site also announces a maintenance closure on Monday 19 October 2026, so check it before you travel.
Wikipedia describes a 106 m lattice tower with an observation deck at 100 m, while Wikidata lists 101 m for the tower. The observation floor is on the 29th and 30th floors according to the official site. From 100 m the horizon is roughly 36 km away.
For a harbour view over Yamashita Park, the Bay Bridge and the Minato Mirai skyline, I think so. Google Maps rates it 4.2 from 4,337 reviews. The GetYourGuide e-ticket has no ratings yet, so I rely on the Google score and the $13 price.
I would arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset. In the 2025 Open-Meteo data January had the least cloud at 37 percent and February 41 percent, while May was the cloudiest at 87 percent. Sunset ran from 16:29 in December to 18:58 in June.
Sometimes. Wikipedia says visitors can see Mount Fuji from the observation deck in clear weather, and the ticket listing says the same. Winter has the lowest cloud cover in the Open-Meteo data, so January and February give you the best chance.
Yes. Wikipedia records that it closed in April 2019 for renovation and reopened on 1 September 2022, and the official site lists regular hours today. It does announce a maintenance closure on 19 October 2026 and one elevator under repair, so check the notices.
