Hotel in the Yokohama area

After visiting Tove Jansson Akebono Children’s Forest Park, I said goodbye to my parents at the station.

Since I picked up a shaved ice machine and some dishes, both of which haven't been used for several years, from my parents’ house, I traveled to the Yokohama area by train with heavy luggage.

I met up with my husband at a hotel in the Yokohama area. The next day, we went to Tokyo DisneySea, and the day after that, we joined a stamp rally in Yokohama.

It takes about 90 minutes by train to get from Maihama (where Tokyo Disney Resort is located) to Yokohama, so staying in Yokohama is a bit inconvenient for visiting Tokyo Disney Resort.

However, with the recent surge in foreign tourists, hotel prices around major tourist areas and central Tokyo have risen significantly, so we chose a hotel in the Yokohama area to save money.

In the end, this turned out to be a bad choice.

Transportation between Yokohama and Maihama was not an issue, but the hotel itself had issues. The room smelled bad, and even unused items like the kettle were wet, which raised concerns about cleanliness.

As expected, the online reviews were extremely negative.

When booking, I should have checked not only the photos, prices, and distance, but also the reviews more carefully.


トーベヤンソンあけぼの子供の森公園訪問後、両親とは駅で別れました。
長年使っていないかき氷機や食器を実家から回収したため、重い荷物を抱えながら電車で横浜周辺まで移動しました。

横浜周辺のホテルで夫と合流し、翌日は東京ディズニーシー、翌々日は横浜でスタンプラリーをしました。
東京ディズニーリゾートのある舞浜(千葉県)から横浜(神奈川県)は電車で約1時間半かかるため、ディズニー観光には少々不便です。
しかし、近年外国人観光客の激増に伴い主要観光地及び都内のホテル価格が高騰しているため、節約のために横浜周辺のホテルを選択しました。

結果的にはこの選択は失敗でした。
横浜—舞浜間の移動は問題ありませんでした。
しかし、部屋で悪臭がしたり、未使用ポットが濡れていたりと、衛生面で不安な点が目につきました。
案の定、ネットの口コミはボロクソでした。

予約の際に写真と価格、移動距離だけでなく、口コミももっと確認すべきでした。

Thanks for your helpful comment. The hotel is technically in Yokohama, but it’s quite far from the central area where most of the tourist spots and shopping districts are. I think many Japanese people tend to associate “Yokohama” with that central area rather than the entire city, so I used “the Yokohama area” to avoid being misleading. Describing locations precisely in English can be tricky.

Hotel in the Yokohama area


Hotel in the Yokohama area Hotel in Yokohama

While it is technically correct, it is also okay to generalise it and just say 'in Yokohama' instead of 'in the Yokohama area'. Maybe the first time you say it, you can say 'the Yokohama area' but from that point onwards you can just say 'Yokohama' to make it more concise.

Hotel in the Yokohama area Hotel in the Yokohama area

You can also say "Yokohama Hotel" if you wanted a shorter title.

I don't think your original sentence was wrong, it just sounded a bit awkward and I tried to rearrange it in a more natural way. It's also a bit long but I don't know how to break it up nicely.

In this case, it's okay to say 'Yokohama area' because it sounds like you picked a hotel either directly in Yokohama or somewhere surrounding it. To me, it sounds like you could be referring to any area surrounding Yokohama, but because Yokohama is more well-known it is easier to say 'Yokohama area'.

In the end, this turned out to be a bad choice.
