Yokohama Hotels with Onsen & Hot-Spring Baths

Yokohama hotels with onsen are rarer than in a traditional ryokan town, but the city has more soaking options than most visitors expect. Five properties confirmed operating through 2025–2026 offer everything from a full natural hot-spring complex in Minato Mirai—drawing water daily from Atami and Yugawara—to rooftop open-air baths at business hotels in Kannai and a carbonated spring near the Shinkansen. This guide covers walk times from the nearest station, which floor the bath is on, and how to access day-use entry where available.

Yokohama Onsen Hotels at a Glance

The table below covers all five properties, ranked by bath type. Rates vary by season and availability.

Natural Hot Spring vs Large Public Bath: What to Expect in Yokohama

Two of the five properties here offer genuine mineral-spring water: Yokohama Minatomirai Manyo Club (Atami- and Yugawara-sourced water delivered by tanker) and Escale Yokohama (on-site hot-spring bath). The other three—both APA properties and Super Hotel Shinyokohama—have large communal baths that are sento-style or carbonated-spring facilities, not natural onsen by Japanese law.

The distinction matters for some travelers, but in practice all five baths offer the core experience: a deep communal soak in hot water, a sauna in most cases, and a proper wash station before you enter. For the full ryokan-style onsen ritual within a 50-minute train ride of Tokyo, the Manyo Club is the clearest choice. For a hot bath after a long day of sightseeing without paying a premium, the business-hotel options deliver.

Minato Mirai: The Bay-View Onsen Complex

Yokohama Minatomirai Manyo Club sits a 5-min walk from Minatomirai Station (Exit 5) on the Minatomirai Line, or a 10-min walk from Sakuragicho Station (JR Negishi Line). It reopened in June 2025 after renovation, with upgraded facilities including a new automatic löyly sauna, a carbonated spring, and refurbished Japanese-Western-style guest rooms.

The hot-spring baths are on the 7th floor, gender-separated, and include multiple pools and a stone bath. The rooftop Outlook Footbath Garden offers a 360-degree view of the Minatomirai skyline and is free with bath entry. Karaoke, table tennis, a rest lounge, and a restaurant are all in-house, so it functions as much as a leisure complex as a hotel.

• Day-use entry (post-June 2025 renovation): approx. ¥2,800 per adult on weekdays / approx. ¥2,975 on weekends and holidays (junior high school age and up); fees may vary — confirm the current rate before visiting
• Free shuttle bus from Yokohama Station West Exit
• Overnight guests include bath access in the room rate
• Japanese-Western-style rooms added in the 2025 renovation

Hotels with Rooftop and Top-Floor Baths

APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower

The APA Bay Tower is the largest property in this list, positioned between Bashamichi and the Chinatown area. Bashamichi Station (Minatomirai Line) Exit 4 is a 3-min walk. The public bath is on the 4th floor and includes an open-air section. The hotel has two Family Mart convenience stores inside the building—useful if you need bath supplies or want a post-soak snack at any hour.

• Bath location: 4th floor, public bath with open-air tub
• Nearest station: Bashamichi Station (Minatomirai Line), Exit 4, 3-min walk
• Also within reach of Nihon-odori Station, a 5-min walk
• Rates from ¥9,000/night; vary by season and room type

APA Hotel Yokohama Kannai

This smaller APA property is steps from Kannai Station (JR Negishi Line), about a 2-min walk from the south exit. The public bath is on the top floor with a sauna and a small open-air tub. The Kannai location is convenient for Yamashita Park and the Osanbashi pier area, which is about a 15-min walk east.

• Bath location: top floor, sauna and small outdoor tub
• Nearest station: Kannai Station (JR), south exit, 2-min walk
• Rates from ¥7,000/night; lower mid-week

Both APA properties suit couples who want a private room with bath access without paying for a dedicated onsen ryokan. For a more romantic framing, see our Yokohama hotels for couples guide.

Value Picks with a Large Communal Bath

Escale Yokohama

Escale Yokohama is the closest hotel to Motomachi-Chukagai Station (Minatomirai Line)—the station exit opens almost directly into the hotel approach, making it a 1-min walk. It has a genuine hot-spring onsen: gender-separated baths with a sauna. The hotel has 78 rooms including Japanese-style tatami options, and the Chinatown gate is a 3-min walk from the front door.

• Onsen type: natural hot spring, gender-separated, with sauna
• Nearest station: Motomachi-Chukagai Station (Minatomirai Line), 1-min walk
• 78 rooms; Japanese-style rooms available
• Rates from ¥8,000/night; vary by season

This is my pick if you want genuine onsen and immediate access to Chinatown's evening dining. The location also works for Yamashita Park, the Marine Tower, and the Osanbashi terminal.

Super Hotel Shinyokohama

Super Hotel Shinyokohama is 3-min walk from Shin-Yokohama Station North Exit (JR Tokaido Shinkansen and Yokohama Line). It offers a carbonated spring bath—technically not a natural onsen, but a high-concentration sodium bicarbonate bath that softens the skin and feels similar. Men's and women's sides are separate. Bath hours run from 3:00 PM to 9:00 AM, covering both post-arrival soaks and early-morning departures.

• Bath type: carbonated spring (gender-separated)
• Bath hours: 3:00 PM – 9:00 AM
• Nearest station: Shin-Yokohama Station North Exit, 3-min walk
• Complimentary breakfast included; welcome bar with free drinks 4:00–7:00 PM
• Rates from ¥6,000/night; rates vary by season

This is the strongest value option if you're arriving or departing by Shinkansen and want to soak without paying Minato Mirai prices. Note that Shin-Yokohama is a 20-min ride from Yokohama Station by the Yokohama Line.

Bath Etiquette and Tattoo Policies

A few practical points apply to all the properties here:

• Shower at the individual stations inside the bath room before entering any shared pool. This is not optional.
• Most baths are clothing-free. Bring a small modesty towel into the bath area; keep the large bath towel outside the water.
• Do not submerge the small towel in the shared water. Set it on your head or to the side.
• Tattoo policies vary by property. Contact each hotel directly before booking if you have visible tattoos. Policies changed at several facilities between 2023 and 2025, and public information on individual property rules is inconsistent.
• Photography is not permitted in bath areas at any of these properties.

Practical Tips: Bath Hours, Day-Use, and What to Pack

Bath hours. Manyo Club is open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 AM the following morning (effectively 23 hours). Super Hotel Shinyokohama baths run 3:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Check APA and Escale directly for current hours, as they can vary by floor rotation schedule.

Day-use access. Manyo Club is the only property here with a ticketed day-use bath program open to non-guests. The others are guest-only. If you want a Yokohama soak without overnight accommodation, Manyo Club is your clearest option—buy an entry ticket at the front desk or online in advance.

What to bring. All properties provide body wash, shampoo, and conditioner at the bath station. A small towel is usually provided or available to rent. Manyo Club's entry fee includes a robe and towel rental. Bring your own toiletries if you have skin sensitivities.

Luggage storage. Manyo Club, APA Bay Tower, and Escale Yokohama all offer luggage storage or a front-desk hold service. Confirm with Super Hotel Shinyokohama and APA Kannai at check-in if you need to drop bags before the room is ready.

Gender rotation. Some onsen complexes alternate which side (indoor/outdoor) is for men or women on a daily schedule. Manyo Club rotates between its two main bath areas. Ask at the front desk which section is assigned on the day you arrive so you go to the correct entrance.
