About open call for participants of next operation of Yokohama Marine Tower (end)

Yokohama Marine Tower was built in 1961 with the cooperation of citizens as a project commemorating the 100th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port. Since then, as a symbol of Yokohama Port, it has long been popular with citizens and has become a major tourist base in Yokohama. Since the contract with the current operator expires on March 31, 2019, we will continue to utilize the vitality of the private sector and aim to promote tourism in Yokohama and revitalize the Yamashita-koen-mae area. We have decided on List Properties Co., Ltd. and Priority zet.

Last update date April 1, 2024
