The Sky Garden — Attraction in Yokohama

Finding the Landmark Plaza's Sky Garden's entrance, alone, took a great deal of time and investment, including a few mistaken trips to the ground-level hotel and whatnot. Seriously.

That being said, the small price of 1,200-yen to enter the Sky Garden was well worth it, because nowhere else in southern-Tokyo will you be able to capture the wondrous panoramic views of Tokyo Bay, Downtown Yokohama, the nearby Ferris wheel, the rainbow walkway, and more.

Be aware, however, that the ticket to enter the Sky Garden is for one-time admission, and cannot be used again once ticket-holders leave the Sky Garden. I failed to realize this when I attempted to ascend Landmark Plaza at night for another view of Yokohama, but was denied.

While in the Sky Garden, visitors may enjoy the bar, purchase souvenirs, and get a caricature artist to paint a portrait...

Above each window is a picture naming the areas and buildings you can see. Make sure you...

The two people at the reception were very unpleasant. When we arrived there was no one and they talked to each other regardless of our arrival. Since I've been in Japan, this is the first time I've received such a welcome. And not in a good way. No politeness on their part, (hello, welcome), they looked us up and down and as I was about to ask for a mask because my friend's was broken (something that can happen to anyone), they wouldn't let us in with no explications. They wouldn't lend us one or even even send us to a place where we could have bought one. Impolite from beginning to end, with an insistant look that showed we had to get out of here. It's a shame the view looked very nice in the photo but the reception didn't make us want to come back. What a...
