There are many fun and unique theme parks in Yokohama. We had hotel concierges who know all about hot tourist spots tell us about the appealing theme parks of Yokohama.
The fastest way to find out about the best sights in Yokohama is to go see a hotel concierge who is a sightseeing professional and knows all about Yokohama. We had a hotel concierge from the Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers tell us about the highlights of the appealing theme parks of Yokohama. The information counter always has tools that provide you with support in your sightseeing trip such as multilingual maps and pamphlets. Your trip through Yokohama will be comfortable and worry-free, even if it is your first time here.

A luxurious atmosphere that allows you to fully enjoy Yokohama
The Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers, which can be accessed directly from Haneda Airport, is the perfect hotel for you to stay in when sightseeing as it is located right in front of the West Exit of Yokohama Railway Station with trains, busses, and taxis nearby. The guestrooms are high-grade, as can be expected from a Sheraton luxury hotel. A comfortable stay and the view of Yokohama through the window make your trip an even more pleasant one.

The Keikyu Limousine Bus makes six direct round trips a day from the Haneda Airport Terminal 3. There is no need to make bothersome transfers and you can freely travel even with large baggage. Connections can be made at YCAT (the bus terminal at the East Exit of Yokohama Railway Station), which has the largest number of busses departing and arriving in the area.

Keikyu Limousine Bus
The first recommended spot is Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, which is 45 mins. by Keikyu Bus from Yokohama (YCAT). It is an outdoor complex that includes attractions such as an aquarium and amusement park. The "Fureai Lagoon" here lets you come in contact with sea animals such as dolphins and seals, and has an exciting marine show. There is also a special discount ticket where a round trip ticket for rides between Haneda Airport and Yokohama Railway Station (YCAT, Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers) comes with a one-way ticket from YCAT / the Minato Mirai District to Hakkeijima Sea Paradise.Haneda-Hakkeijima transfer ticket

Enjoy a top-class Japanese aquarium!
One attraction that Hakkeijima Sea Paradise is particularly famous for is the couple of whale sharks that are bred here. You will not want to miss the whale sharks swimming as it is a rare chance to do so anywhere you go in the world. The "Super Sardine Illusion" show, where 50,000 sardines swim around to illuminations and music in the immense main tank, is held every day. This magnificent and fantastic sight will absorb you.

The view from the amusement park at Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise is amazing as it is located adjacent to the ocean! The 107 meter-tall Blue Fall is a thrilling freefall ride that gives you a beautiful view of the ocean. The Surf Coaster, which is a roller coaster that travels near and above the ocean, is also recommended.
