Another angle near the Sheraton Club, which is so uniquely beautiful that we had to stop and take a picture. We will take you to see the inside of the Sheraton Club in the next few pictures.

Typically, hotel rooms in Japan tend to be rather small. However, at the Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers, the rooms are both spacious and comfortable, making them ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The amenities are also incredibly comprehensive, offering everything you could possibly need.

We'll take a closer look at the in-room amenities in the following photos.

First Impression that we are impressed with so far is that the two of us took our mother to stay on August 12th, which coincides with Mother's Day in Thailand. The hotel also made a Mother's Day card for us and wrote a blessing in Thai, along with Welcome Fruits.

So cute, both of our mothers couldn't stop smiling. ^^

The bathroom is also spacious, featuring a bathtub, shower, towels, and a heated toilet seat, which we appreciated.

The bathroom amenities were incredibly comprehensive, offering a wide range of options. For two guests, everything was thoughtfully provided in pairs, including basic items such as body lotion, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and bath sponges. Beyond expectations, the amenities also included exfoliating salt, a nail care set, hair ties, and a Kose facial care set (which we tried for the first time and loved).

The shower set of le grand bain is very refreshing. Normally, we don't like to use hotel creams and shower gels, but we used everything here and would like to find it again. It's a scent that we really like.


The room is equipped with a tea and coffee maker, perfect for those who enjoy a relaxing beverage. The hotel provides a variety of capsules from the UCC brand, allowing guests to choose their preferred flavor. It's important to note that all the drinks shown in the picture are complimentary.

The room also provides plates, spoons, forks, chopsticks, wine glasses, and whiskey glasses. This is convenient if you want to buy small snacks from the supermarket connected to the bottom floor of the hotel.


At the head of the bed, there are controls for turning the lights on and off, electrical outlets, and a telephone.

What I appreciate about staying at large hotel chains is their robust security system. Guests can only access the floor they are staying on and public areas by tapping their key card before pressing the elevator button. This prevents unauthorized access to other floors.

Let's take a look at the Sheraton Club Lounge, located on the 26th floor. Access is restricted to guests who have booked Club Floor rooms.

Upon exiting the elevator, one is immediately captivated by the grand chandelier, its beauty demanding a photograph.


The ambiance of the Sheraton Club Lounge

This morning, we had breakfast here. The view from here is amazing, and we can see almost the entire city of Yokohama.

The egg station features a Japanese chef who prepares fresh, hot omelets and scrambled eggs to order.


The buffet line in the lounge offers a variety of international options, including bread, sausages, smoked salmon, grilled mackerel with soy sauce, and a selection of juices and cereals.


The lounge offers a wide variety of beverages, including mineral water, soft drinks, beer, Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up, fruit juices, milk, tea, and coffee. There is something for everyone to enjoy.


The view from the dining lounge is equally impressive, with panoramic views of Yokohama city from above. It's a truly remarkable experience to sip coffee while enjoying the cityscape.

Next, we will take you to see the Japanese restaurant and Rooftop Bar of this hotel. Stay tuned for more information. Product name: Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers

Another highlight of the hotel is the Japanese restaurant 'Ko-No-Hana', which serves traditional Kaiseki-style set menus that are difficult to find elsewhere. The restaurant's interior offers a view of the hotel's small Japanese garden, creating an authentic Japanese atmosphere.


This is the ambiance of the restaurant and the set menu items we had. The food is quite health-oriented and features traditional dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, making it well worth trying.

The staff will serve the food and provide individual servings for each person.


The unfamiliar appearance of the dishes may seem daunting, but trust me, once you try them, you'll be hooked. These authentic Japanese dishes are a rare find, and the experience is truly worth it. It's like stepping into the heart of their genuine culture.

One of the most surprising dishes was the "fish bone." Yes, you read that correctly. They deep-fried the entire fish skeleton until it was crispy and crunchy, similar to eating pork rinds. This was a very resourceful use of ingredients and a truly unique experience for us. Usually, we have to spit out the bones, but this time we had to eat the whole thing!


Original hot green tea with a strong, traditional flavor. It's a great way to cut through the sweetness after a dessert.

We will take a train to Yokohama for a short walk and bring you some pictures of the atmosphere.

Yokohama Cosmo World: A Convenient Urban Oasis

Yokohama Cosmo World, conveniently located in the heart of the city, offers a unique urban amusement park experience. Situated within the Minato Mirai 21 district, a modern hub of Yokohama, the park is surrounded by renowned department stores, shops, restaurants, and other attractions.

Minato Mirai Zone: A Picturesque Destination with a Giant Ferris Wheel and River Views

The Minato Mirai Zone offers a captivating photo opportunity with its towering Ferris wheel, situated alongside a scenic river. The nearby Cosmo World amusement park adds to the vibrant atmosphere.

Yokohama Landmark Tower: A Hub of Tourism and Business

The Yokohama Landmark Tower stands as a prominent landmark in the city, serving as a hub for both tourism and business. Surrounding the tower, visitors will find a vibrant mix of shopping centers, restaurants, office buildings, and unique, modern architecture, offering ample opportunities for exploration and photography.

Next is the Red Brick Warehouse district, another Yokohama landmark. These red brick warehouses house shops and are a popular spot for locals to relax and enjoy the view in the evening.


The atmosphere in Yokohama is not chaotic and not overly crowded. For us, it is another charming city worth visiting.

We recently had the opportunity to try the Gyu Kaku yakiniku restaurant in this city. The restaurant was very popular, with Japanese people of all ages filling the tables. The menu offered a wide variety of meat options at affordable prices, with both buffet and à la carte options available. We enjoyed delicious, tender, and flavorful meat at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

The vibrant atmosphere of the city's shopping district at night is just a 5-10 minute walk from the Sheraton Yokohama Hotel.


This ramen shop is located next to Don Quijote and is open 24 hours a day, so you can enjoy delicious and rich ramen anytime you're hungry. ^^

Let's head back to the hotel. Next, we'll visit the Rooftop Bar 'Sky Lounge Bay View' on the 28th floor, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of Yokohama Bay. Cocktails are reasonably priced, with each drink costing around 1,000 yen. That's about the same price as drinks in Thailand, isn't it?

The hotel bar boasts a delightful ambiance, perfect for unwinding with a cocktail and light snacks while enjoying the captivating cityscape illuminated by the evening lights.

At the bar, we tried a variety of cocktails, all of which were delicious and easy to drink. The menu offered a wide selection, and the staff, including the bartenders, were very friendly and attentive.

Signature cocktails are available, and non-alcoholic mocktails are also offered for those who prefer not to drink. The drinks are delicious and easy to enjoy, making them the perfect accompaniment to the stunning evening atmosphere of the hotel.


For those seeking comfortable accommodation with five-star service, the Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers offers a convenient location adjacent to Yokohama Station and a renowned shopping mall. With its proximity to shopping and dining options, it is an ideal choice for shopaholics. This hotel is widely regarded as one of the finest in the city.
