How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The skyline across the water from Ijincho, with the Landmark Tower, the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel and the sail-shaped InterContinental hotel lit up at night. Wikipedia notes that you can see Minato Mirai 21 from the game's waterfront, but you can't go there.
The real place
Minato Mirai 21 was built from the 1980s on former shipyards and rail yards. The Landmark Tower, finished in 1993, is about 296 metres tall, and the Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel next to it doubles as a giant clock.
Visiting
For the view in the game, walk out to the end of Ōsanbashi Pier after dark. The Sky Garden observation deck on the 69th floor of the Landmark Tower looks back the other way, over Kannai and Chinatown.
