Cosmo World

Getting around: About a 5 minute walk from Minatomirai Station, central Yokohama.
Hours: Typically 11am-8pm or later, hours vary by day and season, some weekday closures; paid rides individually or via ticket bundles.

Cosmo World is an amusement park in the Minato Mirai waterfront district, its most recognizable feature being the Cosmo Clock 21, a large Ferris wheel that doubles as a giant illuminated clock and offers views over Yokohama's harbor and skyline. The rest of the park includes a mix of family rides and a rollercoaster, set against the backdrop of the surrounding Minato Mirai high-rises and waterfront.

It's a compact, easily walkable park well suited to a couple of hours in the evening, when the Ferris wheel and surrounding illuminated buildings make for good photos.
