Where to stay

Kannai is a great place to book a hotel to enjoy Yokohama's lively nightlife. While the area is relatively quiet during the day, things become much more exciting after dusk when themed bars and clubs open their doors for business. To try one of the city's numerous jazz cafés, stay in an ultra-cosmopolitan hotel in Minato Mirai 21. Just north of the city center, the neighborhood of Noge also offers numerous accommodations, as well as friendly jazz joints and small bars to enjoy.

Booking a hotel in the city's main tourist area of Minato Mirai 21 will put visitors near its shopping streets and modern malls such as Queen's Square. Choose accommodations near the Yokohama Bay Quarter shopping complex in the Yokohama Station area to stock up on international brands and souvenirs. For a quiet place to stay without giving up the shopping scene, Motomachi offers a whole street filled with anything and everything, from popular brands to furniture and cutlery.

The area of Minato Mirai 21 is a good place to stay for those wishing to experience a blend of the city's modern culture and history. Attractions here include the Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama Landmark Tower, Yokohama Port Museum, and Narita-san Yokohama Branch Temple. Find a hotel in Chinatown for easy access to the Yokohama Museum of Eurasian Cultures, Yokohama Doll Museum, and Yokohama Omoshiro Aquarium. For temple hopping, book a room in Kanazawa, where visitors can learn about the local culture away from the chaos of the city center.
