YOKOHAMA LANDMARK TOWER

This is a night view on the Minato Mirai 21 area located in Yokohama. "Minato Mirai 21" litteraly means "Harbor Future 21" and gathers famous buildings. One of them (left side of the picture) is the Landmark Tower : the tallest skycraper in Japan with 295.8 m. It contains the second fastest elevator in the world (12 m/second or 45 km/h). The building offers a five stars hotel (floors 49 to 70), and restaurants, shops, offices, clinics and so on from floors 1 to 48. On floor 69, the so-called "Sky Garden" is an observatory from where you can enjoy a 360-degree view on Yokohama.
