Yokohama by night

View large at Flickr
Yokohama is lovely to visit by night with all the colored illuminations. Here we see the three most famous landmarks that represents Yokohama. To the left is Landmark Tower, Japan's tallest building until Tokyo Sky Tree is completed. In the middle is the ferris wheel at Yokohama Cosmo World. To the right is the Yokohama Grand International Hotel.

I've never been up to the observatory tower, and I don't really see a point in doing so. Landmark Tower is just so much taller.

When it gets pitch black, the lighting reflects nicely in the water.

I am not the only one who likes to take photos in Yokohama by night. These guys were fiddling with their tools and lighting to get good shots of their Dollfies with Yokohama in the background. Dollfie is a special type of doll from Volks, very popular (and expensive - around 100,000 yen for a plain body) among anime fans. These Dollfies are dressed up as characters from Magical Lyrical Nanoha.

Looking out towards Osanbashi Pier.

This is a typical party boat which groups of people can rent, with staff and food included.
