2026 ROOFTOP ILLUMINATION - Bees Bring the Light (America Yama Park) One-Day Course

Spend a day enjoying ROOFTOP ILLUMINATION - Bees Bring the Light, the illumination event at America Yama Park (アメリカ山公園), the elevated urban park on the rooftop of Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line. It typically runs from early December to early March (last year it ran from December 4, 2025 to March 1, 2026). The dates and lighting hours for the 2026-27 season have not yet been announced, so please check the official website before heading out. During the day, enjoy shopping and food-hopping on Motomachi Shopping Street, where the history of the port opening lives on. Climb the hill for a panoramic view of Yokohama Port and the Bay Bridge from the observation deck at Harbor View Park, then head to America Yama Park in the evening. The rooftop garden, reachable by elevator directly from the station, is wrapped in soft light. With short distances between stops, this is a family-friendly stroll through Yamate and Motomachi. Winter evenings get cold, so dress warmly.
