The building in the background here is the Yokohama University of Pharmacy’s library. Yes, really.

If you thought it looked a bit more like the Wutai pagoda, well I would agree with you there.

If you thought it looked a bit more like a hotel, then you would technically be correct, which is the best kind of correct.

In 2002, the local theme park, Yokohama Dreamland, finally closed its doors. This was the hotel in the theme park. Much of the park site became the University, and the rest of it became a housing development called ドリームハイツ (Dream Heights.)
