Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall

Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall is a concert venue in the Minatomirai district featuring multiple levels with seating for about 2,020 people. The building is integrated into the Queen's Square complex and provides modern facilities for orchestral and chamber music performances.

The concert hall was designed by Nikken Sekkei and opened in 1997 to expand cultural offerings in the growing port city. Its establishment marked Yokohama's transition toward becoming a major international urban center.

The venue serves as a gathering place for classical music lovers in the region, hosting international orchestras and accomplished pianists throughout the year. Performances here connect the local community to world-class musical traditions in a contemporary setting.

The venue is within a short walk from Minatomirai Station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Operating hours span most of the day, with occasional closures for maintenance work.

Large windows throughout the building frame views of the harbor and bay, adding an unexpected connection to the surrounding waterfront during performances. Many visitors only discover these vistas when they look around during a concert.
