As "GUNDAM FACTORY YOKOHAMA", a public facility with a life-sized "moving Gundam" opened at Yokohama's Yamashita Pier, is coming to an end on March 31, 2024 (Sunday), various locations in Yokohama will be held. We will be implementing various initiatives sequentially from late February.

Since opening its port in 1859, Yokohama has grown into a vibrant international city with a history of economic and cultural exchange as a gateway to the world. Many spots remain in the city that tell the story of the port's opening, and it is an open port town where many foreign cruise ships still pass through today. The city is also constantly changing and developing, centered around the Minato Mirai 21 area, where cutting-edge experiential facilities and R&D centers for global companies are being developed. Welcome to this exciting city that combines the charms of both a sophisticated urban waterfront area and a suburban area filled with greenery and tranquil scenery!
