Your hotel in Yokohama

Open to the sea, it immerses you in a calm and restful atmosphere with its wide tree-lined avenues and its many parks and green spaces.

By the sea, stroll through the Sakuragicho district, where "Minato Mirai 21" (Port of the Future) awaits you with its shopping centres, before reaching the Landmark Tower, whose height will leave you speechless. From the 69th floor and depending on the weather, you will have a 360° view of the city, as well as Oshima island off the Izu peninsula and of course Tokyo. This spectacle is a must during your stay, whichever hotel in Japan you choose.

Art lovers, continue with a visit to the Yokohama Museum of Art, where contemporary art reigns supreme through both photographs and paintings, before stepping into the Maritime Museum to admire an old sailing ship built in 1930, the Nippon Maru. If the weather is mild, treat yourself to a walk along the Kishamichi Promenade, a former railway line that will lead you to Shinko and its legendary Ferris wheel in the Yokohama Cosmo World amusement park. A must-see, this site will delight young and old alike and offer you a beautiful panoramic view. But Yokohama cannot be visited in a single day, there is so much to see: Chinatown, Motomachi and its chic district, Minato no Mieru Oka Park and the 106-metre-high Yokohama Marine Tower are just a few suggestions before admiring the sunset over Yokohama Bay.
