Yokohama Cosmo World is an amusement park located in Yokohama’s redeveloped waterfront district of Minato Mirai 21.
The star attraction of Cosmo World is its giant Ferris wheel, which was once the largest in the world and remains a favourite among young Japanese couples. The Ferris wheel dominates the Yokohama skyline and features a large digital clock. At night, it transforms into a dazzling light show, with thousands of LED lights illuminating the structure in dynamic patterns.
Other major attractions include:
- A diving roller coaster that cleverly plunges underground through a pond, with jets of water creating the illusion of a splashdown.
- A log flume ride, another popular attraction at the park.
- A spinning roller coaster, where the cars rotate in circles as they travel along the track, adding an extra thrill to the ride.
- A ghost hall, where an ancient Japanese ghost sneaks up on you in a spooky setting.
- An Amusement arcade featuring various games and claw machines with unique Japanese items
