$47 Stay & 50-Dish Buffet! (Hotel Review) Minatomirai: The Fun City Near Tokyo

Looking for a great #YokohamaHotel ? I found an incredible #ValueHotel in “Minatomirai,” just a short train ride from Tokyo, for $47 per night including a 50+ dish breakfast buffet. This time, I stayed at the #APAHotelResortYokohamaBayTower, one of the largest hotels in Japan.

From an aerial walk through skyscrapers on the #YokohamaAirCabin to a food tour at the #ShinYokohamaRaumenMuseum, where you can travel back to 1958 Tokyo, I’ll show you a perfect adult #SoloTravel plan to enjoy this amusement park-like harbor city. #HotelReview #YokohamaTravel #JapanTravel #Ramen

  1. I’m still amazed that I could stay at such a massive resort hotel for only $47 a night… ⚓✨
    The 50-item breakfast buffet featuring freshly grilled fish was incredible, and the nostalgic vibe of the Ramen Museum was a highlight of my 12 hours in Yokohama. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, this hotel is a game-changer for your budget!

    Which dish from the buffet looked the best to you? Let me know in the comments! 👇

  2. こんばんは。撮影お疲れ様です。APAホテルありがとうございます!!

    6:41 APAホテルといえば 無料のお水(笑) どんな味か気になりますね(笑)

    両国のAPAホテルもそうですが ジムがあるのは嬉しいです。 長期滞在でも 運動できるので 運動不足の心配はなさそうですね(笑)

  3. I thought that would be bored under the APA franchise, I am glad I am proven wrong.
    The high bed has another advantage, when get out of the bed, this require less banding the angle of both knees, knees would get less pressure from the body, and the thumbs up for the water pressure, this is certain better than most of the hotels you filmed. But need to bring a towel to bathroom for shower is definite a con.
    The 1950's street is really cool, I assume lots of tourist will go there if they know it! and the cable car, looks pretty fun experience!

  4. A wonderful mini trip to Yokohama, thank you very much ! We stayed at an APA Resort last year, and I was pleasently surprised about all those "extras" (onsen, indoor pool, gym, inhouse conbini) for the price.

    If you visit the ramen museum in Shin Yokohama again, the noodle making class is a lot of fun. We did it last year, and the teacher is a really nice & fun man. You make the noodles using a huge bamboo pole, so its also a bit of exercise 🙂.

    P.S. I knew that for the yukata its left over right, but I didnt know why. Now I understand, and I see that it is really important to wear it correctly !

  5. 2024年6月第一次獨旅日本就住這裡
    環境很不錯,我選的是高樓海灣的景色
    夜景很漂亮~白天看出去也很美
    價格不便宜..但可惜我只使用了大浴場
    看了影片介紹,如果再有機會,
    會想再安排住一次,想看港未來的風景
    就是APA的房間真的超小,
    我的胖胖行李箱放不進床下

    PS.但是住高樓很怕遇到地震
    2025,12月去東京住8樓第一天就遇到地震..怕怕~

  6. Wow I’ve been to several APA’s in Japan and this one has got to be the largest.

  7. Какая хорошая идея с реконструкцией старого Токио! Очень занимательно!

  8. This hotel is definitely right up my alley for travel. Unbelievable cost for a well-maintained and gorgeous-looking place. Too bad you arrived so late in the evening and didn't really get to enjoy it. Your trip to the Ramen Museum was much more in-depth than the one that the "Dancing Bacons" gave in their trip. You concentrated on the history, and they did the food side.

  9. The hotel looks amazing. Wonderful trip. Thank you for bringing us along. Much love from the USA

  10. 住过一次品川车站的apa,平日一万多日元,周末价格翻倍,其他类似的饭店很多,从此不住apa了。

  11. いつも素敵なホテル動画ありがとうございます!参考にさせていただいてます😊
    さいたま新都心にある、THE MARK GRAND HOTELと川越にあるスーパーホテル川越もオススメです(*^^*)

  12. 数回宿泊しています。
    高層階みなとみらい側指定しているので、夜景が素晴らしいです✨
    大浴場も広くて気持ち良いです❗朝食利用しませんでしたが、眺望に拘らなければ朝食付のこの価格は魅力的ですね🎶神奈川在住ですが気分転換に時々、気になるホテルに宿泊しています😃

  13. 昨年の夏、仕事で横浜に行った時に泊まりました。
    その時はMrs.GreenAppleのライブが近くで開催されるということで、そのお客さん達も多く宿泊していました。
    1階のアパの社長カレーでは揚げシウマイ乗せカレーをいただきました。
    ビジネスホテルにしては大浴場もあって、楽しく過ごせました。
