The Y Container is a spot where music is played during the "Highlight of Yokohama" production, making it even more enjoyable to see the lights that illuminate the city. There are four Y Containers in total, but ZOU-NO-HANA Park is recommended because it is easy to access both Y Terminal and Y Cube, and the dark surroundings allow you to clearly see the container production.

The 14-meter-high "Y Cube" at the Shinko Chuo Hiroba stands out even from a distance, and while the "Highlight of Yokohama" is a wonderful light show that matches the surrounding scenery, it is also a spot that can be enjoyed at other times of the day.
Interactive projection mapping" responds to visitors' movements, and when they stand around the "Y Cube," a ring of light is created like a footprint. Depending on the timing, the ring of light becomes a colorful cube, or if you stand for a long time, the ring of light becomes rainbow-colored, and various other effects are prepared.
The Y Cube is a must-see spot that is beautiful when viewed from afar and fun to experience up close!
The Y cube has a big impact.
You can be a part of the illumination yourself.
About this [Y Cube], there is a train path near the Shinko Chuo Plaza. The train path is a promenade built on a portion of the Rinko Railway that opened in 1911. The Y cube, which changes with people's movements, was created based on the image of a place where trains and ships meet and intersect. It is also a place where one can strongly feel the theme of this year's "YORINOYO 2023": "Circle, Encounter, Mix. It is also a good place to enjoy while thinking about history.
