Yokohama · Young children
Anpanman is the well-known children's character in Japan, and his museum in Minato Mirai is built for young children and not for collectors. ¥2,200 to ¥2,800 for every visitor from age one and up, an adult pays the same, and a baby under age one enters free. 10:00 to 17:00, last entry at 16:00. Floors 2 and 3 require an online ticket for a set time. The first floor, with the shops and the food, is open free without a ticket.
Yokohama · Pokemon
One of the largest Pokemon Center branches in Japan, on the eighth floor, a few minutes' walk from Yokohama Station. A Union Room where you can play on the spot, and an interior design that works in the sea theme of the port city. 10:30 to 20:30 every day. Important to know: the Marui City Yokohama mall closed at the end of February 2026, but the store stayed in exactly the same place and the building changed its name to Yokohama Sky Building. Old maps and guides still write Marui.
Minato Mirai · Free
The modern harbor district: Landmark Tower, a Ferris wheel, brick warehouses and a pier. Free to walk around. In the evening the whole skyline lights up, and from Osanbashi Pier you see it reflected in the water.
