The Yokohama Marine Tower, a long-standing landmark and symbol of Yokohama, transforms into a more romantic and mysterious space at night. The 'NAKED Distance Lantern®' event, a collaboration with Japan's leading digital creative group 'NAKED, INC.', is here for travelers who love urban night views.
A Spectrum of Light Where You Become the Protagonist: Distance Lantern

The core of this event lies in its unique concept that goes beyond simply viewing the night scenery, inviting visitors to become participants in the light art.
When you hold the atmospheric lantern provided upon entering the tower, a soft aura of light gently spreads beneath your feet. This lantern cleverly guides you, naturally maintaining a safe 'Distance' from other visitors with light, while also becoming a special accessory that colors the dark observation deck with your own vibrant art. Lanterns emitting different colors – red, blue, purple – fill the tower, creating a dreamlike atmosphere as if the entire space is a massive media art exhibition.
Yokohama's Milky Way from a 100m High Observation Deck

Following the gentle glow of the lantern, ascend to the observation deck 100 meters above ground, where the magnificent panorama of Yokohama Port unfolds beyond the glass windows.
The brightly lit Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel, the Yokohama Bay Bridge, and the lights of cruise ships gently floating on the sea come into vivid focus. Especially on the observation deck's windows, NAKED's signature stylish projection mapping is layered over the real-time night view, offering an unreal visual thrill as if a virtual fireworks display or a cascade of stars fills the night sky. The light from your lantern, the city night view outside the window, and the beautiful digital art unite to complete the most elegant and luxurious night of your Yokohama trip.
