Overview
Richmond Hotel Yokohama Ekimae stands in Tsuruya-cho, about two minutes on foot from Yokohama Station's Kita West Exit, on the northwestern side of the complex. The main West Exit is about four minutes away. Department stores and restaurants are within walking distance, and the station has trains for waterfront sightseeing and days out in Tokyo.
Rooms
Standard rooms measure 18 square meters and have a 140-centimeter-wide bed and a combined bathroom. The 21-square-meter Comfort rooms add a wider bed and a bathroom separate from the toilet, which is more convenient when two guests need to get ready.
Superior Doubles measure 26 square meters, while Superior Twins have 27 square meters. Some Superior Twin bookings can accommodate a third guest with an extra bed. The 28-square-meter Family Twin instead combines one 160-centimeter-wide double bed with one 110-centimeter-wide bed for up to three people. Check both the bed arrangement and occupancy when comparing categories.
Facilities
Guests can use the fourth-floor coin laundry and a shared microwave on the ninth floor. Both come in handy during longer stays, whether you're washing clothes or heating a simple meal. Reception can also hold luggage before check-in for early arrivals.
Dining
The second-floor restaurant serves a Japanese, Western, and Chinese breakfast buffet from 6:30 to 10:30, with last entry at 10:00. Check whether breakfast is included in your room rate.
For dinner, the streets west of the station provide alternatives to the hotel restaurant. You can eat near the hotel after a day out without taking another train.
Location and transport
The Minatomirai Line runs to Minatomirai for the waterfront district and continues to Motomachi-Chukagai for Chinatown. JR services connect Yokohama with Tokyo Station, while the Tokyu Toyoko Line provides a route to Shibuya.
Bullet trains use Shin-Yokohama Station, not Yokohama Station. From Shin-Yokohama, take the Blue Line subway directly to Yokohama, then walk to the hotel. Allow extra time to find the correct exit within the large station complex.
Airport access
Keikyu services connect Haneda Airport with Yokohama Station. Some trains run directly, while others require a change, so check the route for your arrival time.
The Narita Express normally provides a direct journey between Narita Airport and Yokohama. Check the timetable and engineering-work notices before relying on a through service.
Why stay here
The location works for a trip split between Yokohama and Tokyo, with both local sightseeing routes and longer rail journeys starting nearby. For sharing a room, the Comfort category offers a separate bathroom without moving up to the largest rooms.
The department stores and shopping centers around the West Exit are close enough to visit before or after sightseeing. Restaurants in the surrounding streets give you somewhere to eat near the hotel if you return late in the day.
Good to know
There is no on-site parking. Drivers need to use nearby paid car parks.
