(Borrowed from https://minatomirai21.com/, 14/12/20.)
Minato Mirai 21 is a coastal tourist town full of local attractions you can enjoy. And if you can't visit Yokohama but wish you could, Minato Mirai 21 can now be toured online for free! Yes! Free! The local attractions include the 4th tallest tower in Japan, an amusement park, the Yokohama cup noodles museum and multiple malls and restaurants. To get to see a free tour of the area can be a fun, easy way to help you decide whether or not you'd like to go in person. Or even, just to do some more virtual tourism!
Details on how the tours work and how to book can be seen here. The website is in Japanese, so here is a translation I was able to get from Google Translate: Online tour for foreigners in Minatomirai! Introducing the history and enjoyment routes of Minatomirai, free of charge
