Kid-Friendly Hotels in Yokohama & Minato Mirai: Station-Linked Family Stays

From hotels connected directly to Yokohama Station to a waterfront property in Minato Mirai — easy bases for families heading to the Anpanman Museum or Hakkeijima

When you start looking for a family hotel in Yokohama, there are simply too many options — high-rise towers in the Minato Mirai waterfront district, city hotels right by the station — and it is hard to tell which ones actually suit children. Yokohama is a city where the sights connect straight to the train lines, so you can get around with a little one on trains and on foot. That is exactly why the quickest way to narrow things down is to focus on two things: how far the hotel is from a station, and how it handles co-sleeping and bedding.

Of the 11 properties we list in this area, 8 offer crib rentals and 6 offer bed guard rentals. The Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers, connected directly to Yokohama Station, lets children up to age 12 share a parent's bed free of charge and has both crib rentals and a nursing room, and the New Otani Inn Yokohama Premium, connected directly to Sakuragicho Station, offers baby cots. Over in Minato Mirai, the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8, built out over the water, rents baby gear, and The Westin Yokohama has an indoor pool. The InterContinental Yokohama Grand and Hilton Yokohama also accommodate co-sleeping, but play spaces such as kids' rooms are limited at most hotels here, so this area works best if you plan to let the city's attractions handle the playtime.

The Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum (built around a much-loved Japanese cartoon hero) and the Cup Noodles Museum are within walking distance in Minato Mirai, while Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, Nogeyama Zoo, Chinatown, and Yamashita Park are all reachable by train. In the Chinatown and Motomachi area you will find hotels with more spacious rooms, such as the TRAN.SCENDER HOTEL Yokohama, which opened in 2025, and the Hyatt Regency Yokohama. Co-sleeping policies and children's amenities differ from hotel to hotel, so it is worth checking each property's official website as of 2026 before you book.

Travel tips

Yokohama's stations and sights sit close together, so you can get around without a car. Minato Mirai is flat and easy to walk with a stroller, but the Anpanman Children's Museum gets crowded on weekends and during school holidays, so aiming to arrive right at opening makes the day go more smoothly. Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise is reached on the Seaside Line, and Chinatown is just a short walk from Motomachi-Chukagai Station. Hotel parking is usually paid, so if you are driving, check the rates and the height limit in advance.

Best season

Spring and fall are lovely for strolling along the harbor, summer brings Minato Mirai's events and water play at Hakkeijima, and winter centers on illuminations and indoor attractions. Room rates rise over long holiday weekends, so this is a city where a weeknight stay keeps costs down if you can manage it.

Getting there

The Minatomirai Line links Yokohama Station to Shin-Takashima, Minatomirai, and Motomachi-Chukagai in just a few minutes. By car, use the Shuto Expressway Yokohane Line or the Minato Mirai interchange.

Which hotels are close to the Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum?

expand_more

The museum is within walking distance of Minatomirai and Shin-Takashima stations, so you can walk there from Minato Mirai hotels such as the Hilton Yokohama, the InterContinental Yokohama Grand, and The Westin Yokohama. From hotels near Yokohama Station it is one stop away, and close enough to keep your stroller with you the whole way.

Is it inconvenient without a car?

expand_more

Yokohama is a city you can cover by train and on foot: Minato Mirai, Chinatown, and Yamashita Park are all near stations, and Hakkeijima is reachable on the Seaside Line. If you do drive, hotel parking is usually paid and Minato Mirai gets busy on weekends, so most families find public transit easier.

Is there enough for children to do on a rainy day?

expand_more

There are plenty of indoor options — the Anpanman Children's Museum, the Cup Noodles Museum, and the aquarium at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise — so rainy days are easy to plan around. Some hotels also have facilities you can enjoy on-site, such as The Westin Yokohama with its indoor pool.

When is the best season for a family trip to Yokohama?

expand_more

Spring and fall are comfortable for walking along the harbor, and winter brings the Minato Mirai illuminations. Summer is hot, so the usual approach is to pair outdoor time with indoor attractions.
