If you're visiting Aso Shrine, you can stop by for a cream puff. It's reasonably priced, with a slightly crisp, fragrant shell filled with smooth custard cream. The sweetness is mild, and the rich milky flavor doesn't feel heavy. One is just right for a quick energy boost.

Minato Mirai 21
JR Sakuragicho Station, Japan’s first train station, is the gate to Minato Mirai. Coming out of the station, you will see a futuristic cityscape such as the 296m-tall Yokohama Landmark Tower and the ferris wheel Cosmo Clock 21. In 2021, the urban 630m-long ropeway, YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN, was opened, connecting the former railway and the Unga-Park Station.
Minato Mirai 21 is Yokohama's most iconic modern urban district. Developed along the harbor, its skyscrapers and ocean views come together to create a romantic and vibrant cityscape. From the Red Brick Warehouse and Yokohama Landmark Tower to Osanbashi Pier, there are different views to enjoy along the way. It's a great place to stroll and admire the harbor during the day, while at night you can enjoy the dazzling city lights. It's a spot you shouldn't miss when visiting Yokohama.

Yokohama Cosmo World
This multi-level urban amusement park has a bit of everything, from thrilling rides like a giant Ferris wheel and roller coasters to games, haunted houses, virtual reality attractions using VR and 3D technologies, and children’s rides like merry-go-rounds and character cars.
COSMO WORLD's most iconic landmark is its giant Ferris wheel, which creates a striking cityscape against the harbor scenery of the Minato Mirai area. During the day, you can enjoy expansive views of the harbor and city from the ride. After dark, the Ferris wheel lights up, making all of Minato Mirai even more romantic and enchanting. Whether you visit during the day or at night, you can experience a different kind of charm.
