Overview
Shin Yokohama Grace Hotel is a one-minute walk from Shin-Yokohama Station, making it a convenient choice for travelers focused on rail access and event-day timing. The hotel is on the Yokohama Arena side of the station, close to the Tokaido Shinkansen, JR lines, subway access, Tokyu and Sotetsu services, and the station-area bus terminal used for Haneda Airport routes.
This is a Shin-Yokohama stay rather than a waterfront Yokohama stay. It works best for bullet-train schedules, Yokohama Arena events, meetings, parking, and easy station-side overnights, rather than for bay views or evenings centered on Chinatown.
Rooms
Rooms range from compact single and semi-double layouts to twin, superior double, deluxe twin, and Japanese-Western options. Sizes start at 14 square meters and extend to 30 square meters, with the larger categories arranged for groups of four or five.
The appeal is straightforward comfort over showcase design. Simmons beds, bedside USB and power outlets, and a useful mix of room types make the hotel workable for solo business trips, couples, friends attending an event, or families who need more space than a standard double room provides.
Facilities
The building offers more than a bed beside the station. Guest rooms are on the upper floors, while the lower floors include the front desk, cloakroom, tea lounge, Japanese restaurant, banquet and meeting rooms, wedding facilities, and parking.
Those features are especially helpful on travel and event days. Guests can leave luggage, meet someone downstairs, use the hotel for business or banquet functions, or park on site when driving into Shin-Yokohama. The overall strength is smooth logistics with a comfortable place to return to afterward.
Dining
Breakfast is served by advance reservation at the basement Japanese restaurant. The current format is a 12-item Japanese set meal, including small dishes made with vegetables from Kanagawa, and reservations are requested through the front desk by 5 p.m. the previous day.
The same restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. On the first floor, the tea lounge is convenient for a meeting, a pause before check-in, or a quiet break between station errands.
Location and transport
The hotel is on the Yokohama Arena side of Shin-Yokohama Station, near the route between the station and Cubic Plaza. Its biggest long-distance advantage is the Tokaido Shinkansen, with direct bullet-train service toward Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and western Japan.
Local access is also better than Shin-Yokohama's older reputation as a Shinkansen-only stop suggests. The JR Yokohama Line, Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line, Tokyu Shin-Yokohama Line, and Sotetsu Shin-Yokohama Line support trips toward Yokohama Station, central Yokohama, Tokyo-side rail corridors, and nearby Kanagawa suburbs.
Airport access
Haneda Airport access is by airport limousine bus to the Shin-Yokohama station-area terminal, not by hotel-door shuttle. The ride usually takes about 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, followed by about a one-minute walk from the terminal area to the hotel.
Why stay here
Choose this hotel when your plans revolve around Shin-Yokohama: an early Shinkansen departure, a late rail arrival, a Yokohama Arena event, a business function, parking needs, or a Haneda bus connection. Its strongest advantage is not atmosphere, but the short, low-friction link between the hotel, the station, and the event side of the district.
The surrounding Shin-Yokohama Station Area adds station shopping at Cubic Plaza, Yokohama Arena, access to Nissan Stadium, and the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. For waterfront walks, Chinatown, Minato Mirai, or a denser evening dining scene, Yokohama Station or the central waterfront districts will usually feel more natural.
Good to know
The hotel is very close to Shin-Yokohama Station, but it is not inside the station complex. Breakfast also requires a little planning: reserve through the front desk by the previous afternoon if you want the hotel breakfast.
