Tips Before You Visit
Bring an Umbrella — No Covered Walkway from the Station
There is no continuous covered passage between Shin-Yokohama Station and the hotel. Bring an umbrella on rainy days. Attendees with large luggage may prefer a taxi.
New Lines Make Arriving from Western Greater Tokyo Much Easier
The Sotetsu Shin-Yokohama Line and Tokyu Shin-Yokohama Line opened in March 2023, enabling direct access from Shibuya, Meguro, Hiyoshi, and central Kanagawa (Ebina, Shonandai) without transfers. Attendees from western Greater Tokyo will find the journey significantly more convenient.
Expect Heavy Crowds on Nissan Stadium Event Days
Nissan Stadium (approx. 10 min on foot from the hotel) hosts major football matches and concerts. On event days, the area around Shin-Yokohama Station and the bus terminal becomes extremely crowded. Check the stadium schedule in advance and plan to arrive at least an hour early.
Shin-Yokohama Prince Pepe Closing in March 2027
The Shin-Yokohama Prince Pepe shopping mall adjacent to the hotel is scheduled to close in March 2027, after which the site will be redeveloped. Dining and retail options in the immediate vicinity will decrease. Plan meals and shopping in advance if your event falls close to or after that date.
Hotel Associa Shin-Yokohama (Above the Station) Closed Until December 2026
Hotel Associa Shin-Yokohama (JR Hotels), located directly above Shin-Yokohama Station, has been closed since 16 July 2026. It is scheduled to reopen in December 2026 as Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Yokohama Station — once it does, it will be the highest-quality accommodation option immediately adjacent to the venue.
Shinkansen and Local Rail Have Separate Ticket Gates
At Shin-Yokohama Station, the Tokaido Shinkansen gates are separate from those of the JR Yokohama Line and subway lines. Familiarize yourself with the station layout in advance to move smoothly between platforms and the hotel exit.
