Entrance Hall
There are two entrances to Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall. First, there is the main seaside entrance facing the broad avenue overlooking the Pacifico Yokohama convention complex and the Yokohama Ferris Wheel. Then there is the mall entrance, which is directly connected to the Queen’s Square Yokohama shopping and office complex and provides easy access to Minatomirai Station. When you first arrive at Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall, you are greeted by the entrance lobby. The comfortable atmosphere in the space enables you to enjoy a relaxed time before the concert starts in the small or main hall.
When you enter via the mall entrance, you encounter Tamura Noriko’s An Air for All Seasons, an expansive mural that covers both walls. The 12 muses depicted in the work escort you into the world of music. By all means, take a minute to look examine at the mural before or after the concert.
