[Hotel Review] Yokohama Royal Park - The Landmark of Yokohama

Just outside of Tokyo lies Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city and a popular destination as a day trip from Tokyo. Recently the Yokohama area has also become popular among visitors as a base for exploring the east part of Japan too; with easy access to the bullet train (Shinkansen) from Shin-Yokohama, relatively bigger rooms and lower prices than in Tokyo the city is an attractive alternative for those who are familiar with the area.

One of the most renowned hotels in Yokohama is the 5-star Yokohama Royal Park. This hotel is situated in the iconic Yokohama Landmark Tower, which was Japan's tallest building from 1993 when it was built until 2012. With its convenient location it is easy to spot the building from afar, and with its 70 floors, it also has one of the best views you can get in Yokohama. A while back I had the chance to stay a night at the hotel, and I have summarized the experience below.

Guest Room - Corner Bay Double Room

During our stay at Royal Park, we stayed at one of their Bay View Corner Double rooms. From the room, we had a beautiful view of the Yokohama Bay. In addition to Bay View rooms the hotel also has City View rooms, and for guests staying on the upper floors you might even see Mt. Fuji from your room if the weather is good.

Room View

Our room was situated on the 60th floor with a stunning view of Yokohama Bay. From our window we could look right down on Yokohama's great ferris wheel; Cosmo Clock 21. The ferris wheel is a beautiful sight in the evening as it is lit up and shines in a range of different colors and patterns.

The Landmark Tower building where Yokohama Royal Park is located also has a big shopping mall where you can find apparel stores and the official Pokemon store for those who might be interested in that. There is also a lot you can see in the area, and among other things, you can visit Japan's biggest China Town in Chuukagai (中華街). There are also a number of seasonal events taking place in the city, such as the Christmas Market in the Red Brick Warehouse (Akarengan) or the Pikachu festival held around Sakuragicho in August. Yokohama also has several interesting museums such as the Cup Noodle Museum and the Yokohama Orbi Planetarium where you can try their blue Earth Burger. Or you might just want to stroll around the Minato Mirai area and enjoy the evening scenery.
