2026 Yokohama Timber Wharf Illumination Walk: A Full-Day Course

Centered on the 'Yokohama Timber Wharf Illumination Walk,' where the waterfront of the Shinko (新港) area in Minato Mirai lights up, this is a day for families to fully enjoy the Shinko area. It is usually held from late November through mid-January (in the 2025-26 season, from November 29 to January 18); as the 2026-27 season dates have not yet been announced, please check the official website before visiting. Viewing is free. In the early afternoon, enjoy making your own original Cup Noodles at the Cup Noodles Museum (カップヌードルミュージアム), then enjoy shopping and a snack at the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse (横浜赤レンガ倉庫), before heading to Timber Wharf (ティンバーワーフ), just a short walk away, in the evening. The combination of the harbor waterfront and the lights is a beauty unique to the Shinko area. The sea breeze is cold on winter evenings, so dress warmly.
