Everything about Minato Mirai 21 totally explained
, often shortened to Minato Mirai, is a large urban development in
Yokohama,
Japan.
The name, which means "Harbor Future 21," was selected in a public competition. Construction of the area started in 1983. Built largely on
reclaimed land, the area now features the
Landmark Tower, Japan's tallest
skyscraper, the Queen's Square shopping mall, the Pacifico convention center, Intercontinental Hotel, and more. Next to Landmark Tower is
Yokohama Museum of Art.
As of 2004, 20 years after the start of development and despite a 50 percent asset tax discount, half the 88-acre (356,000 m²) area remained unoccupied. The
February 1,
2004 completion of the
Minatomirai Line, which connects the area directly to both central Yokohama and
Shibuya in
Tokyo, is expected to revitalize construction in the area. Planned new tenants include the
United Nations University.
The area is a popular tourist spot together with nearby
Yokohama Chinatown. Minato Mirai is one of the few places in the Tokyo-Yokohama area where the seashore is accessible, and not blocked by industry and harbour areas. Another is
Odaiba.
