[2025 Yokohama Attraction] Travel Guide for Cosmo Clock 21 (Updated Aug)

On the first day, we arrived in Yokohama around 3 PM. After checking in, we headed to Vanilla Beans the Roastery. Next, we walked to the Red Brick Warehouse, and then to Leonard's Donuts, a shop originating from Honolulu, Hawaii, known for its Portuguese donuts without holes. We bought an original flavor, which was quite delicious when eaten hot. We continued walking to Tonkatsu Aoki Yokohama Bashamichi. After a satisfying meal, we walked to the Yokohama Air Cabin Sakuragicho Station and took it to Unga Park. Finally, we walked back to the hotel, enjoying the view of the Ferris wheel along the way, which was beautifully lit up at night. The itinerary also includes Yokohama Chinatown and Yamashita Park, which we visited on other days around noon. We took the subway to Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi-Chukagai, then strolled through Yamashita Park, walking back to the hotel. The cool weather in March made the walk quite pleasant. Compared to Tokyo, I prefer Yokohama a bit more. Although it’s not as bustling as Tokyo, it’s less crowded, making it a more comfortable place to travel. The accommodation prices are also relatively cheaper, and Yokohama has all the shopping destinations one could need.

It is one of the largest Ferris wheels with a clock function, and has even been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Don't miss the famous Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris Wheel when visiting Yokohama! 🎡✨ Originally built for the Yokohama Expo, it was preserved due to its popularity and later relocated to its current site. Riding it at night is incredibly romantic, offering a panoramic view of the sparkling Yokohama harbor that feels almost unreal. Highly recommend trying the transparent cabins! 🚪👀 Although it might feel a bit nerve-wracking at first, as you ascend into the sky, the city lights beneath your feet create a magical sensation of floating in the night sky—both thrilling and romantic! Quick tip: Transparent cabins are limited, so you might need to wait a bit longer, but it's absolutely worth it! A full ride takes about 15 minutes, perfect for leisurely sightseeing, taking photos, or simply enjoying the harbor's night view. 🌃💙 Yokohama's Ferris wheel at night is a must-try. Even the regular cabins are stunning, but the transparent ones double the romance. If you're looking for a special memory, don't miss out!

📍 Location: Future Queen Square, Yokohama Port, Japan ✨Highlights: * Great dining experience with stunning sea and Ferris wheel views! * Authentic Japanese cuisine, fresh ingredients, exquisite presentation, double enjoyment of taste buds and visuals. * Great atmosphere, perfect for friends gatherings or couples dates. 🌸 Text: The day before yesterday, I came to Yokohama with my friends and chose the "Orange Family" Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong Future Queen Plaza. I've long heard that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yokohama while enjoying delicious food here. It's well-deserved! As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was amazed by the suddenly cheerful view outside the window. Yokohama’s iconic Ferris wheel, Cosmo Clock 21, is within easy reach, with the sparkling sea shining in the sun and tall buildings in the distance, forming a refreshing urban picture. We were lucky enough to sit by the window and have a panoramic view of this beautiful scenery. The relaxing feeling of dining was instantly filled! The dishes at Orange House equally did not disappoint us. We ordered sashimi platter, grilled fish, grilled fish and a specialty salad. 🍣 [Sashimi Platter] Fresh sashimi is tempting in color, each slice is cut evenly thick and thin. The richness of the tuna, the sweetness of the bream, the plumpness of the salmon... melt in your mouth, as if you can taste the taste of the sea, it is simply the ultimate enjoyment of your taste buds! 🥩【Rock Slab Barbecue】This dish is very eye-catching when it is served. The grilled beef slices are neatly placed on the hot rocks, sizzling and fragrant. The beef is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is juicy. With the special sauce, every bite is full of happiness. 🐟 [Grilled fish] Grilled fish skin is charred, the fish is tender and juicy, with fresh lemon, refreshing and refreshing, is a very classic Japanese delicacy. 🥗 [Specialty Salad] The salad presentation is also very exquisite, bright colors, fresh and crispy vegetables, with ham and unique sauce, rich taste, refreshing and appetizing. Dining at Orange House is not only a taste satisfaction but also a visual feast. Looking out the window at the Ferris wheel shining under the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the unique charm of Yokohama Port, chatting with friends, tasting exquisite Japanese cuisine, the whole person becomes relaxed and happy.

Yokohama Port's charm isn't limited to daytime; it quietly blossoms after nightfall. During the day, the Ferris wheel stands as a serene landmark by the harbor, but when illuminated at night, it transforms into the most captivating focal point of the port. You don't need to ride the Ferris wheel to feel the romantic atmosphere it exudes. Strolling along the harbor, with the salty sea breeze brushing against you and watching ships come and go, time seems to slow down, offering a sense of tranquility. Nearby, there are small gardens and walking paths that are worth visiting both during the day and at night.

During my trip to Japan, I had planned to visit Yokohama for just one day. On my first visit, I explored Chinatown, went to the zoo, visited the Red Brick Warehouse, and saw a yacht tour near the bay—which I didn’t join because I hadn’t known you needed to book in advance. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to visit Yokohama was to ride the Cosmo Clock 21, the giant Ferris wheel in Minato Mirai. As a fan of the anime Bungou Stray Dogs, this spot meant a lot to me—it appears in the anime multiple times, and I really wanted to experience it in person. Unfortunately, I came on a Thursday—the only day the Cosmo Clock doesn’t operate. I didn’t know that ahead of time and was really disappointed. Because it meant so much to me, I even changed my entire Japan travel plan and added one more day just to return to Yokohama for the ride. That Saturday, I came back, bought my ticket online in advance, and arrived around 6:00 p.m.—but then it started raining and soon after, it snowed. I was shocked because it was already the first week of March. When I finally got to the Cosmo Clock, it had already closed early due to the weather. Staff told me that no rides were available and they couldn’t offer a refund. The ticket website also refused to reimburse me, saying there was a system error. I was really sad because riding the Cosmo Clock was the only reason I came back to Yokohama the second time, and I missed it again. Trying to lift my mood, I went to Yokohama World Porters, the shopping mall nearby, and spent time there. I found lots of capsule toy (gacha) machines and played with those. I got some nice figures that I liked, which helped cheer me up a little. At least, on my first visit, I did go to the Sky Garden Observatory—which offers a great view of the whole area, including the Cosmo Clock. That was still a good memory. My advice: Double-check the Cosmo Clock’s operating schedule (closed on Thursdays). Be aware that rides may stop early due to weather, especially rain or snow. Try to book flexible or refundable tickets, or check the policy before purchasing. If you're really looking forward to it, consider going earlier in the day to avoid missing your chance. Even though I didn’t get to ride the Cosmo Clock, I still found other small joys in Yokohama. But I hope this helps you avoid the same disappointment.

I took the ropeway🚡 on a warm, sunny winter day in Yokohama. It was perfect for when I was strolling around Minato Mirai and felt like walking to Sakuragicho would tire me out. It's in an open area so you can see all around, and the location is excellent. I thought the night view would be beautiful, but it was also great under the blue sky during the day. It was very refreshing😆 📍Location: Near the Red Brick Warehouse 💰Price per person: One way 1,000 yen Round trip 1,800 yen #0 yen trip February 2025 #Yokohama #Minatomirai #Red Brick Warehouse #Yokohama Air Cabin #Sakuragicho

Shin-Yokohama Station is a major station and is always crowded. However, there are fewer people near the Red Brick Warehouse, and the streets are clean with few high-rise buildings. The Red Brick Warehouse is worth a visit, and the night view is beautiful. Inside, there are many small shops selling souvenirs, with many good options, but they close around 7 pm. You can go outside to the walkway through the shops upstairs, and at the end of the walkway, there is a lucky bell. You can also enjoy a distant view of the city and the pier. The straight-line distance from the Red Brick Warehouse to Osanbashi Pier is very short, but it is a bit far to walk. You will pass by the Elephant Nose Breakwater, which is a nice place for a stroll if the weather is not too hot. (For anime fans: This is where many scenes from Bungo Stray Dogs take place.) At Osanbashi Pier, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea and the city. Facing the city, you can see Yokohama's Jack, Queen, and King, which are the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Main Building, Yokohama Customs, and Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall (I can't remember the exact order). The Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall is free to visit, and you can learn about the history of Yokohama's port opening, which is very important in Japan's opening and development process. There are many places to eat in Yokohama Chinatown, so you can give it a try. At night, the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel is colorful and dazzling, and its reflection on the water adds color and charm to the city.

#japantrip Just a short train ride from Tokyo, Yokohama is Japan’s second-largest city, offering a beautiful mix of modern attractions, historic charm, and waterfront views.

As the sun sets, the skyline lights up, creating a magical view across the bay. Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan, offering vibrant streets filled with colorful lanterns, authentic Chinese cuisine, and street snacks like pork buns and dumplings.

Cold & calm weather.

The cosmo clock is a ferris wheel with a very attractive location by the sea. I have visited in the past as part of the cosmo world yokohama trip. While the experience of being in one for those cabins of the ferris wheel is great. I personally find it prettier, the view of the cosmo clock from different angles during different times of the day. For first timers, it would Indeed make sense to ride the cosmo clock ferris. The tickets are not much but challenge is that it can be crowded or you are looking at more than half an hour in the que during peak hours like sunset or the night. I have done it at both the hours and find the night view to be stunning with lights around. They have three transparent cabins. Even from a distance and during tour time in Yokohama, just like the bay bridge this will always be seen. It's a nice visual memory! #japantrip

The highlight of this place is the giant Ferris wheel 'Cosmo Clock 21,' offering stunning views of Tokyo Bay. Nearby, there are also shopping malls and museums, allowing tourists to enjoy their time here all day long.
