Port of Yokohama Countdown & Fireworks
Yokohama's New Year’s countdown is exceptionally fun and lively because it takes place right at the port. After Japan signed a treaty of commerce with the United States in 1858, following 200 years of seclusion, Yokohama has experienced an influx of Western culture.
Thus, it’s one of the few places in Japan that celebrates New Year’s with fireworks and a whole lot of parties.
We especially recommend Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise for a wonderful, Western-style New Year’s experience.
During the day, the place is both aquarium and amusement park in one, while illuminations light up the area after the sun has set. On top of that, look forward to a 10-minute long firework show that greets the new year. The colorful spectacle reflected on the sea is a breathtaking sight.
After the fireworks, enjoy yourself the whole night – but definitely stay around! There’s hardly a more beautiful scenery than the first sunrise of the year dipping the port in soft, orange light, the mountains of the Boso Peninsula in the background.
