Greetings!

I have a friend who has lived in Japan most of her life, and has been telling me about Sakuragicho [for it's futuristic/modern designs] ....


... but I'm unable to find photos of this area online....


....... does anyone have any [good] photos?


Any help would be great !!!

:bow: :D :master:

sakurigacho is the station based in the minato mirai section of yokohama.

i have posts of the landmark tower and the surroundings of sakurigacho in my tokyo thread. its a wonderful example of city planning,

could you link to that thread?

I'm new in the japan forums and have no idea where to see it :(

you also can see sakuragicho photos in my yokohama thread!

MM21 lightup! :)

those photos look beautiful.... is this area of japan suppose to be very futuristic?

I wanna go there soo bad!!!!!! But im in New York(bad thing)

any ideas of how i can get there?

anything will be helpful

It was supposed to be very futuristic . . . in 1994 when it was being built. Minato Mirai 21 literally translates to Future Port 21 (21 being the 21st century). It's not so futuristic anymore, but it still kicks ass - it's one of my favorite places in Japan.
