Hilton Yokohama, it doesn't feel like a Hilton

Hilton Yokohama

Hilton Yokohama, which opened in Yokohama Minato Mirai in September 2023, is adjacent to K Arena Yokohama, one of the world's largest music arenas with a capacity of approximately 20,000 people, and is conveniently located within walking distance of JR Yokohama Station.

Many people who have the opportunity to stay at Hilton hotels in Japan several times a year are likely members of the Hilton Premium Club (HPCJ), which offers a 25% discount on accommodations. Unfortunately, the Hilton Yokohama is not eligible for the HPCJ discount , but I stayed there because I wanted to experience something new.

1. Access from the station

  • From JR Yokohama Station ,
    • Exit through the Central South or North ticket gates and head towards Takashimaya at the East Exit.
    • Follow the signs for K Arena and you will arrive at Hilton Yokohama in about 10 minutes.
    • Along the way, pass through the Nissan Building and use the Fujifilm Building as a landmark.
    • You can take the elevator in front of the Fujifilm Building entrance to get off at the Minato Mirai pedestrian bridge, but you will need to use the stairs except between 7am and 8pm.
    • If you go past the Anpanman Museum and turn left, you will come to the Hilton Yokohama. Take the elevator to the entrance floor and then take the elevator to the reception on the 3rd floor.
  • If coming from Shin-Takashima Station on the Minatomirai Line ,
    • Take the escalator or elevator at Exit 4 to ground level, cross Tochinoki Street and head towards the Anpanman Museum.

    • I have a Bluetooth speaker by my bed. I had some time before dinner so I wanted to make some coffee and play some music, but the Bluetooth wouldn't connect. I didn't have a manual, so I googled the product name and reset it, but it still wouldn't connect. 😥

          Overall ⭐️ ⭐️

          Access from Yokohama Station is a little confusing, but you can follow the signs to K Arena. However, depending on the time of day, you may need to use stairs, which can be inconvenient (though this may be improved as an access path to K Arena is currently under construction).

          😄 Umbrella left in the room😄 Separate loungewear😩 Not covered by HPCJ, so no room upgrade and no explanation given😩 Bluetooth speaker didn't connect😩 Almonds at breakfast were damp😩 Coffee machine in the room had to be taken out of the shelf and plugged in😩 If you happen to coincide with an event at K Arena, access may be terrible.
