Specifically for fans of gorgeous views, Yokohama Marine Tower offers interesting excursions with striking views. It is a 100-meter lighthouse that has a viewing platform on the top. Having reached the platform in a fast elevator, you will be able to admire magnificent views of the city and the coastal area. It is also possible to see famous Mount Fuji from afar. The lighthouse is also a museum – there is a permanent exhibition on the ground floor that is dedicated to the marine theme. It includes gear of sailors, different models of compasses and sextants, old maps, and historical documents. Not far from the building, tourists will find Yamashita-koen, a picturesque park that is a perfect place to relax and restore peace of mind.
Excursions to Lake Ashi and Fukara-yosui tunnel are no less interesting. If the weather permits, it is possible to swim in the lake and then visit a wonderful viewing platform that offers a tremendous view of the valley, mountains, and the berth. By the way, the berth is suitable for fishing. The tunnel is a very interesting landmark as well. It was made at the end of the 17th century in order to connect the lake and Fukara village. In addition to an excursion to the natural landmark, tourists can visit a costume show that takes place in a “pirate” ship. The entertainment program includes a visit to Lake Ashi, various contests, a costume show, and sampling quality rum.
