2025 Yokohama Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#getgoing2025 Seeing the life-sized Gundam in Yokohama was like watching a childhood dream come to life. This towering robot moved with incredible precision, its sheer size and detail leaving me in awe. Inside the factory, I learned about the technology behind the Gundam and explored exhibits showcasing its cultural impact. For any fan of Japanese pop culture, this place is an absolute must-visit. 📍Gundam Factory Yokohama (closed), Yokohama #japan #yokohama#travel #thingstodo #myitinerary

First time in Yokohama, I thought it was just an ordinary city But it turned out to be so comfortable and relaxing It takes just over half an hour to get to Yokohama from Tokyo You can take the subway or a direct bus! The direct bus is a great way to enjoy the scenery along the way The most surprising thing about Yokohama is that you can see Mount Fuji so clearly I was lucky enough to take a photo with Mount Fuji in the background! There are fewer tourists here, so the experience is really great It's a great place to take photos and enjoy a leisurely stroll on the weekend! 👉Yokohama City Walk One-Day Itinerary: Yokohama Station - Anpanman Museum - Yokohama Landmark Tower - Yokohama Air Cabin - Cup Noodles Museum - Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse - Elephant Nose Park - Motomachi Chinatown - Yamashita Park - Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal (for night views) 😜These places are not far from each other, so you can easily reach them on foot with a comfortable pair of shoes. 💖Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal: This is a huge observation deck where you can enjoy panoramic views of Yokohama Port, as well as the Yokohama skyline and Mount Fuji. 🎡Yokohama Air Cabin: Take a ride for panoramic views of Yokohama Port and the city skyline! 🥢Motomachi Chinatown: This is the largest Chinatown in Japan, so it's the perfect place to satisfy your Chinese food cravings. 🌈Yamashita Park: It's amazing!

#parksandgardens #100waysoftravel It was a nice sunny day at Yokohama, and I can't bear to let this nice weather off without going outside for some nice breeze, so I walked out of my hotel and take a stroll around the coastline of Yokohama Pier. There I reached this nice little seaside park called Zou no Hana Park, which means the Elephant Trunk Park. It spans approximately 3.3 hectares including the breakwater stretching. You can enjoy the nice sea breeze at the park, while having your lunch from the lunch box, and there is also a gallery for exhibition and also a coffee stand. This is a nice place for chilling especially for those working around that area.

#flowerblossom #100waysoftravel Its autumn now and the skies are very blue, and this park located by the pier has seen flowers blooming and all spots. The speciality of Yamashita Park is the rose and cosmos flower. This park follows the style of the western Renaisaance Garden where there are statues and fountains in the park. You also see many people doing sketching and paiting at the park, and the blossoms of the flower makes that it possible to generate a very nice and colourful picture. Whats more, the cool weather also makes picnic possible so you see some couples, friends having picnic at the garden. There are also plenty of benches available for people to sit and relax. Truly a very nice experience indeed.

#traveldiaries I fel like having Sukiyaki so I headed to this shop called Araiya near Bashamichi, serving top grade Sukiyaki using A5 Wagyu. I opted for the A5 Wagyu set meal and they tasted excellently well, the meat is so tender, fresh and succulent, and coupled with other condiments like tofu and mushrooms, the dish is really comforting. You grab a piece of meat, dip it in raw egg and eat them with rice. You can opt to add in Udon after your meal to clear the soup with rich meat flavour. This is gonna be one of the best Sukiyaki shop at Yokohama and I will definitely come again.

#traveldiaries Tempura is a famous delicacy among the Japanese, and we really love the Tempura at this outlet called Hakata Tempura Takao, serving piping hot Tempura, in a rice set meal or rice bowl. First you choose the Tempura items from the menu, it comes with either set or ala- carte at your desire, and the chef will fry it and bring it to your counter, one by one if you order the set meal. The ingredients are very fresh and when you take a first bite after it is served, you will jump around shouting "hot hot hot" as the tempura served to you is piping hot. It is a very enjoyable exoerience and I will definitely visit again.

#traveldiaries Back to Yokohama again for business trip and this time, the lodge is Breezbay Hotel Resort and Spa. This hotel is a little bit old but all amenities are available and best still, the room is very spacious. I booked a queen size room this time. Breakfast is normal but scumptious, and most importantly it is located rather near from Minato Mirai. The price is also rather reasonable compared to all other hotels around that area. Overall its a very good stay and I will come back here again.

#photolocation #100waysoftravel Yokohama is a very nice place with many to offer, and Yamate area used to be the area where the foreigners settled. This old house called Enoki tei is a retro cafe with old English style house as a background. It offers homemade cakes, tea and coffee for visitors visiting the cafe. Since it is autumn so I have decided to sit outside the garden foyer. There is a huge tree to block the sunlight, and the autumn breeze is really soothing and comforting. I ordered the tea and cake set and they tasted heavenly, which made me believe that this is really homemade. It is really a lovely evening spent and I will definitely go again.

#kayak #100WaysOfTravel The peaceful and calm Yokohama harbour is the best place for amateur to buckle up their balancing act. Here you can bring your own stand up paddle, kayak and inflatable raft and sail through it. It is ok to do it and the best time is in the early morning. You can avoid the crowd and the hot sun and the morning harbour is always the quietest. This place is scenic and you can see many iconic landmark such as the ferries wheel and Minato Mirai has excellent waterfront views. If you are staying at the hotels near here, be sure to ask for the harbour views. #japan #yokohama #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Gundam Factory Being able to see such a high-quality model in person is amazing✌🏻 📍Address: Located by the Yokohama waterfront. Tourists can take the Minatomirai Line and get off at Yokohama Station. It's about a 10-minute walk from there. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: The theme is a life-sized Gundam, with different light shows and music performances at various times. The music features theme songs and soundtracks from different eras of Gundam anime. There is also a limited-time shop at the venue, offering exclusive products from time to time. 💞Recommended Reason: Seeing the model of a childhood anime come to life in front of your eyes is a dream come true for many boys🥰

#TokyoItinerary The super popular "Yokohama Chinatown" in Yokohama, Japan is one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan (Kobe Nankinmachi, Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown). It is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in Yokohama, and the photo opportunities are colorful! Even if you are Chinese, you will visit here! There are many Chinese-style buildings, archways, and temples. In "Yokohama Chinatown", you can also eat xiaolongbao, pan-fried buns, Peking duck, Cantonese dim sum, fried rice, Chinese noodles, etc., as well as many souvenirs and Yokohama specialty desserts. Get started. If you come to Yokohama, you might as well come to Yokohama Chinatown to take a tour and eat Japanese-style Chinese food.

Don't think that beer festivals only happen in Germany. Yokohama also hosts a vibrant one! Japan's largest beer festival, Yokohama OKTOBERFEST, is grandly held every year from late September to October at the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse! Many locals make a special trip to visit, and foreign tourists also come to join in, creating an amazing and lively atmosphere. In addition to tasting various beers, you can also enjoy German dishes like sausages and roast pork. This year, there's even a new pairing of beer with baked oysters! At night, you can see the charmingly lit Red Brick Warehouse and the Yokohama night view. Plus, you can join in with locals singing German songs and dancing folk dances.

#TokyoTravel There are many free museums in Yokohama. Keikyu Museum (Keikyu Museum) has free admission but has paid items, which is especially exciting for children. This museum was opened to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the founding of Keihin Kyuko Electric Railway Co., Ltd., and was established with the concept that you can "see, touch, and enjoy real physical trains with your own eyes." The largest display in the museum is the "Keikyu 230", a historic train that was put into operation in the early Showa era and underwent two years of restoration work. You can sit on it and experience it. There is also a huge 12-meter-long diorama and a bus driver’s seat experience, both free of charge. Some children's experiential facilities such as "Railway Simulator Driving" and "My Car Factory" require reservation and payment.

#Tokyo itinerary Many free museums and galleries in Yokohama. “YUMESAKI Gallery” is one of them. Intoxicating AI experience travels the future world and five senses! YUMESAKI Gallery opened in March 2022 and is an AI experience facility developed by LG, a global company that manufactures and sells home appliances and LCD displays. There are five islands - of which the "astronomy island" has the most feel, where you can enjoy powerful floor maps and panoramic images in the dark. Images of the universe, ocean, forest, etc. are projected in the full room view. “Music Island” is based on a random flow of world music projected beat games, with D like Wii. “Island of Color” can do original digital kaleidoscope production. By operating the touch screen, you can choose to plant your favorite pattern from fresh flowers, candies and landmarks around the world, and then print a postcard, which can be made as a souvenir. There are also “Island of Time” and “Island of Travel”, however English and Japanese comprehension will generally not be fun.

#TokyoItinerary Car fans should have heard of the Japanese automobile manufacturer "Nissan". Founded in 1935, Nissan was Japan's first automobile mass production factory, and this is the birthplace of Nissan in Yokohama. Although you can visit the factory, it is quite far from the city center. In fact, car fans can also go to the Nissan Gallery Nissan car display center located next to Sogo. The latest Nissan Fairlady, GT-R and other racing models are on display here. Visitors can freely sit in and play on the nearby streets. Get on a test drive car. In addition, future models were also on display. Visitors can also experience Nissan's most advanced technologies such as electric vehicles and assistance.

#japantrip #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #staycation #naturalwonders Very calming and peaceful, even on the weekends.Though many shops are not suitable for young people/ tourists, there is no doubt that you can enjoy a good cafe or shopping experience there. Very interesting area to look around. Lots cafe, shops, restaurants, very trendy and young designed, lots of old hidden building. Near the homes of rich European residents of Yokohama, this neighborhood displays mostly high end brands. It's still a nice place to take a stroll especially that they have nice illuminating decorations for the holidays.

#japantrip #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #staycation Quaint little park for you to stroll around or jog. Very nice observatory in top looking out to the city and ocean. You can see Gundam Factory from the observatory as well. About 10 mins walk from Motomachi-Chukagainstation. As the name, you can have a view of Yokohama port from the observatory spot.

#japantrip #travel #beachlife #naturalwonders #seascapes This ship was fun, I love history so being able to step back in time was incredible, the design is similar to the old white star lines (titanic) which where built 10 or 20 years before this ship. It gave a good idea of what a ship back then would be like. The tickets are cheap and the wait was not bad, so there's very little reason to not visit this amazing piece of history. The interior is restored tastefully and it does feel like you're witnessing close to its original state as possible. The signs and displays are informative and accomodate english tourists as well,

#japantrip #travellerswonderland #travel #couplestrip The Cup Noodle museum is a fantastic experience that would take about two to three hours, and had the pull of fun and unique activities. Making your own cup noodle was the highlight, getting to both draw on the cup and fill your cup with ingredients. The food court is a great place to stop for lunch to grab a variety of noodles from different parts of Asia and Italy. Make sure to make a custom cup ramen, also 500 yen, like the museum fee. Well worth it as a cool souvenir and experience. Very affordable and fun activity for all

Yokohama Cosmo World is divided into three zones and spread across both sides of the Ooka River's mouth. The less crowded area across the river from the ferris wheel offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa, Japan. It is very accessible. There is no entrance fee which is good. You can enjoy relaxing while looking at the nice view of the sea or pay the rides you want to try. The park features a quite variety of rides for all ages to thrilling attractions, along with live performances, games, and some dining options. Its picturesque waterfront setting, especially vibrant at night, adds to its appeal both as a family destination and a romantic spot for couples. #amusement #100WaysOfTravel

| Pier Design Hotel. Recently stayed at the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 Hotel, and the overall experience was good, but there are some areas for improvement. The hotel's location is excellent, especially the sea view rooms by the port, the scenery is indeed satisfying 🌊. The room faces the port directly, with sailboats docking at night ⛵, accompanied by the port lights, the scenery is serene and beautiful. The room's interior design is modern and minimalist, with enough space, especially the large floor-to-ceiling windows that provide good lighting and views 🌅. The bed is fairly comfortable, but the pillows are a bit hard, not quite to my liking. The bathroom is well-equipped, but the water pressure is slightly insufficient, especially when using the shower, the water flow feels not strong enough 🚿. Speaking of drawbacks, service quality is one of them. The attitude of the front desk reception was a bit cold 😕, seemingly lacking enthusiasm. Although the efficiency was good, the overall service experience was mediocre, lacking the kind of meticulous care that leaves a lasting impression. The rooftop terrace of the hotel is a highlight 🏙️, where you can overlook the entire port, especially suitable for a walk and relaxation in the evening or at night. The view here is very open, making it a great place for photography and enjoying the scenery 📸. As for transportation, the hotel is not very close to Yokohama subway station, it takes about 15-20 minutes to walk 🚶. If you have a lot of luggage or are in a hurry, you might consider taking a taxi 🚖. There are also some convenience stores and restaurants around, making life relatively convenient. In terms of price, the sea view room is around 2000 RMB 💴, which is reasonable compared to other high-end hotels in Yokohama, but considering the cost-performance ratio of service and facilities, it is somewhat average. Overall, the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 Hotel is suitable for travelers who like port scenery, especially those who have high visual experience requirements. Although there is room for improvement in service and details, it is still worth a try in terms of location and scenery. If you plan to stay, it is recommended to book early and choose a room on a higher floor to better enjoy the port scenery 🌅.

#100waysoftravel Did you know that Yokohama is actually Japan's second largest city with a population of over three million and is just less than half an hour south of Tokyo by train.. I did not get to explore Yokohama that much as my Japanese friend brought me on an impromptu visit hours before my flight back to Kuala Lumpur , so it was a rush trip but eyeopening and it also calls for another trip to Tokyo and Yokohama in future… #friends #goodfriends #livelifelah #yokohama #japantrip

#afternoonteatime Situated within the Intercontinental Hotel Yokohama, Lounge and Bar Maeine Blue provides an exquisite experience for diners to enjoy their afternoon tea. There are wide selections od cakes, sandwiches or small bites available as a choice. We ordered the club sandwich and peppermint tea as a set, and they were prepared carefully before sending to us. This lounge is located by the pier and it provides a very nice view to the sea. Those who ordered coffee or tea have the choice to get them refilled. A highly recommended place to have afternoon tea.

This is Manbou, a famous standing sushi bar in Noge Food Alley. I ordered the no-wait set at 9 PM on a weekday. The reason for its popularity was clear from the quality of the ingredients.

There’s a couple of nice restaurants with terrace seats so if you are dressed warm enough. It is windy because it’s right by the sea although they have heaters set up, you need layers in winter. Highly recommended for dates and nice dinner with friends/coworkers, I’ve seen it’s a popular place for wedding. This place is like entering charlie and the chocolate factory or a model T factory. You see the cooks making the products from scratch. Great views and atmosphere in many of the restaurants. #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#foodphotography#langkawi#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด#edinburgh
