Hankyu Dai Ichi Hotel Group - accommodation in Yokohama

This is an excellent 5 star hotel with prices 20% cheaper on average than the Western hotels. The rooms are very spacious and you have a good chance of getting a view of the Ferris wheel and waterfront. Underground access connects you to Mark IS, Minatomirai station, Queens Tower, and Landmark Plaza so you don’t have to worry about getting wet, cold, or hot if you use the underground. Lots of shops and eateries there too. I can’t imagine there is a better place to stay in Yokohama.

Taxis are always an alternative transportation option but not as economical as a train. Downside: 1] No free hotel / airport shuttle service. It's not truly a downside, but more of a convenience for travelers who aren't comfortable with taking the train or families traveling with lots of luggage.
