Minato Color Plan
Last Updated January 30, 2023
What is Minato Color Plan?
The unique landscape of Yokohama's port has been loved not only by citizens but also by many people who visit this port.
The Minato Color Plan aims to make Yokohama Port more unique, attractive and vibrant by adding ideas and directing the colors of the port. It was established after the deliberation of the Minato Color Plan Development Committee, which consists of experts and port officials. At present, the Minato Color Plan divides Yokohama Port into six zones and three districts, creating a color scheme corresponding to each zone and each district.
The "Minato Color Plan" is applied in principle to all buildings and structures throughout Yokohama Port (Yokohama Port harbor area and particularly designated areas).
Since its establishment in 1988, many buildings have colored the port so far.
Basic Policy of the Plan
The color plan will be designed to feel vibrancy and moisture and enhance the appeal of Yokohama Port.
We will create an attractive landscape for citizens and make it proud and friendly.
We will create a safe and comfortable workplace environment for people working in the port.
We will make it possible for people inside and outside Yokohama Port to feel the uniqueness of Yokohama Port.
Considering port functions, landscape characteristics and historical characteristics, a color plan will be used to create a harmonious Yokohama Port.
The color plan for Yokohama Port will be adapted to the 21st century.
