About Pacifico Yokohama
Pacifico Yokohama is one of the world’s largest MICE facilities, built in 1991 as a leading project in the Minato Mirai 21 development. This comprehensive complex features a theater-style hall, conference rooms, exhibition spaces, and hotel facilities, making it a landmark of Yokohama with its beautiful and unique architecture. In 2020, the venue expanded with Pacifico Yokohama North for large-scale conferences and the adjacent luxury resort The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama.
