Know before you book
- Yokohama Station is the hub: JR, Tokyu, Keikyu, Sotetsu and the municipal subway all meet there. The Minatomirai line starts there too and runs along the harbour to Motomachi-Chukagai, the Chinatown station.
- Every harbour hotel in this guide sits on the Minatomirai line — Shin-Takashima, Minatomirai, Bashamichi, Nihon-odori and Motomachi-Chukagai — so a day pass for that one line covers most sightseeing.
- From Haneda, limousine buses run to YCAT, the bus terminal beside Yokohama Station’s east exit, and Keikyu runs direct trains to Yokohama Station. One hotel lists YCAT as 30 minutes from Haneda.
- The Shinkansen does not stop at Yokohama Station but at Shin-Yokohama, a separate district inland. From there the subway takes about eleven minutes to Yokohama Station.
- Minato Mirai is the modern waterfront of towers, the Cosmo World wheel and the Red Brick Warehouse. Kannai, Nihon-odori and Yamashita Park are the older port quarter, and Chinatown and Motomachi sit at its southern end.
- Prices here are per person with breakfast, for two sharing. Saturdays here often cost twice the weekday rate, and at the top hotels more than that.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Yokohama Minatomirai Manyo Club | Runner-up (76/100) | Scored 76, level with InterContinental Pier 8 and the Bay Sheraton, and the tie went on review average, where its 4.24 is the lowest of the three. Its room, bath and dinner scores (average 4.30) also held back quality. |
| Hotel New Grand | Runner-up (74/100) | Scored 74, two points behind fifth place. Its room, bath and dinner average of 4.49 earned only two stars for quality, and at 100% of the median its weekday price did not make up the gap. |
| The Kahala Hotel & Resort Yokohama | Runner-up (71/100) | Scored 71, five points behind fifth place. Value decided it: ¥34,000–41,000 per person on a weeknight, 177% of the median, and up to ¥135,000 on a Saturday. |
| Mitsui Garden Hotel Yokohama Minatomirai Premier | Outside the theme | 4.72 across 932 reviews, but its cheapest rate was below the ¥8,000 floor of the mid-range band this guide covers. |
| Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Yokohama Station | Outside the theme | 4.64 across 1,731 reviews and right above Shin-Yokohama station, but Rakuten returned no rate for it, and Shin-Yokohama is the Shinkansen district, not the harbour. |
| Shin-Yokohama Prince Hotel | Outside the theme | It met every condition, with 11,963 reviews at 4.16 and two minutes from Shin-Yokohama station, but it is in the Shinkansen district rather than Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai, Kannai or Chinatown. |
| 104 hotels | Below the floor | Fewer than 100 reviews, or an average below 4.0. |
Questions visitors ask
I’m flying into Haneda. Which hotel is easiest to reach?
Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers. It is joined directly to Yokohama Station, and its listing gives the limousine bus from Haneda to YCAT, beside the station’s east exit, as 30 minutes. Keikyu also runs direct trains from Haneda to Yokohama Station. For the harbour hotels, change to the Minatomirai line at Yokohama.
I’m arriving by Shinkansen. Is Shin-Yokohama the same as Yokohama Station?
No. Shin-Yokohama is the Shinkansen stop, a separate district inland; Yokohama Station is the city’s main station near the harbour. The subway between them takes about eleven minutes. None of the five is in Shin-Yokohama — the Bay Sheraton, above Yokohama Station, is the shortest onward trip.
Which is best for Chinatown?
Hyatt Regency Yokohama is five minutes from Motomachi-Chukagai station and a short walk from Chinatown and Yamashita Park. Citadines Harbour Front sits on Nihon-odori station, one stop away. Hotel New Grand, a runner-up, is one minute from Chinatown itself.
Is there an onsen in Yokohama?
Manyo Club in Minato Mirai, a runner-up here, has hot-spring water brought in daily from Atami and Yugawara, with an open-air bath. The baths are communal and nude, tattoos must be covered with the hotel’s own seals, and foreign nationals must show a passport. The Kahala, another runner-up, has a large bath and sauna, but not hot-spring water.
How much do these cost, and when were prices checked?
We searched Rakuten Travel availability on 18 October 2026 for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 28 October and 19 December 2026, taking the cheapest room with breakfast for two and showing it per person, tax included. Weeknights start at about ¥10,000 each at Citadines and about ¥17,000 at Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu and the Hyatt Regency. Saturdays cost much more. Prices change daily, so check the hotel’s page before you book.
Which one would you book?
Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu: one minute from Minatomirai station, over the harbour, and 4.64 across 10,858 reviews. It scored 86, the highest of the five. If cost matters more, Citadines Harbour Front starts at about ¥10,000 per person and sits right on a station.
