Touch Harbor History at the Important Cultural Property Sailing Ship and Yokohama Port Museum

About this spot

The Nippon Maru, a training sailing ship called the "Swan of the Pacific," is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property preserved in its original active-duty form in dry dock. During the ship tour, you can walk through the officers' quarters, engine room, and trainee living quarters, experiencing life aboard a large sailing ship. The adjacent Yokohama Port Museum introduces the history and workings of Yokohama Port through models and videos. With building groups in the background, the row of standing masts is one of Minatomirai's representative landscapes and perfect for commemorative photos.

Date & time: 8/24 (Mon) 18:00–20:00

Venue: 横浜・みなとみらい21地区

2026年8月24日(月)、みなとみらいの夏を締めくくるフェスティバルの花火です。臨港パーク前の海上から打ち上がる花火が、ランドマークタワーやビル群の夜景、海面の反射と重なる光景は都市型花火ならではの迫力。音楽やイベントと合わせて夜のみなとみらい全体が祝祭の空気に包まれます。昼に展望台から見下ろした港が、夜は光の舞台に変わる——1日の物語がつながるクライマックスです。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否や有料席の情報は公式発表を必ず確認してください。終了後はみなとみらい駅・桜木町駅が大混雑するため、少し公園で余韻を楽しんでから帰るか、馬車道駅など少し離れた駅への分散がおすすめです。

Tips

The ship interior has many stairs and steps, so wear comfortable shoes. A combination ticket for Nippon Maru and the museum is a good value. Check the official website for the schedule of Sohanzenhangai (the public day when all sails are unfurled).

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required. The white hull of the ship looks beautiful in afternoon light.
