Yokohama Landmark Tower Souvenir Glass

A tall, slim, clear glass tumbler printed in bright turquoise with a stylised graphic of Yokohama's Landmark Tower. The bands, windows, diamonds and zigzags pick out the tower's tapering stepped shape, and "THE LANDMARK TOWER" arches over the top. It has a heavy base and is a great size for water, iced tea, highballs or juice. It also makes a fun souvenir for anyone who has visited Yokohama or loves Japanese design. The print is crisp, and the glass is clean.

The Yokohama Landmark Tower opened in 1993. At 296 metres and 70 floors, it was the tallest building in Japan for about 20 years, until 2014. Its Mitsubishi Electric lifts set a world record when it opened, climbing at up to 750 metres a minute, or about 45 km/h, to whisk visitors up to the Sky Garden observation floor, where the tower shop sold souvenirs like this one.
