This sustainability tour offers a walking exploration of Minato Mirai 21, where historic landmarks that are symbolic of Yokohama’s past are preserved—and sometimes repurposed—alongside modern conference venues and commercial facilities. The tour includes two unique experiences: a ride on the cutting-edge urban ropeway YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN and a tour of the Minato Mirai 21 chocolate shop VANILLABEANS, known for its fair-trade sweets.
YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN features state-of-the-art technology, including barrier-free ropeway cabins, a ventilation system using natural air circulation, battery-powered cooling, advanced safety monitoring, and full-color LED lighting. It also supports Yokohama City’s “Zero Carbon Yokohama” initiative by using Hamakko Denki, a renewable-energy program that contributes to decarbonization efforts.
VANILLABEANS is committed to addressing social issues such as poverty and food loss. Through its mini factory tour, you can learn about these initiatives while enjoying an original chocolate drink.
After exploring the streets of Minato Mirai 21 on this tour, you can experience the area’s sustainable side with a unique ropeway ride and a mindful food experience.
