Yokohama Minatomirai Manyo Club Onsen Experience in Yokohama

Minatomirai Manyo Club gives you a warm-water escape in the middle of Yokohama’s waterfront district. The main draw is the mix of indoor and open-air baths, with a rooftop foot bath that looks toward the Ferris wheel and the sea. This is a bathhouse visit, not a guided tour, so you set the pace.

I like that towels and rental wear are included, and that you can make a longer visit of it with saunas, food, rest areas, and games. I also like the rooftop foot bath: it adds a memorable view without requiring you to leave the building or plan another activity.

The main caveat is that the facility can be hard to navigate if you do not speak Japanese. Some international visitors have found check-in and the facility instructions unclear, so keep your phone handy, ask staff for help, and allow a little patience at the entrance.

At a glance

• Rooftop foot bath: Take in views toward the Ferris wheel and waterfront while soaking your feet.
• Indoor and outdoor bathing: The baths and saunas give you more choice than a quick soak, though the bathing area may feel smaller than expected.
• Towels and rental wear included: Your package covers the basics, so you do not need to bring a towel set or bath clothing.
• More than an onsen: You can add time for a meal, massage, manga, games, or a rest in the lounge.
• Plan for the entrance: Check-in is on the seventh floor, and the building’s size can make the first few minutes confusing.
• Expect an extra tax: A bathing tax of JPY 100 is payable onsite, separate from the starting price.

A bathhouse break in the middle of Minatomirai

1 / 6

Manyo Club works well as a pause in a day of sightseeing. You can visit for the baths alone, but the building is set up for a longer stay, with saunas, places to eat, rest areas, and entertainment on other floors. Some people spend several hours here; the advertised five-minute duration refers to the booking activity, not a realistic amount of time to enjoy the facility.

The setting is unusual for a hot spring visit. You are in Yokohama’s Minatomirai district, near the Cup Noodles Museum, with city and waterfront views from the upper levels. That makes the club a handy fit after walking around the area, or as an evening stop when you want to trade sightseeing for a warm bath and a slower pace.

It is a public bathhouse rather than a private spa. You should expect shared bathing spaces and a self-guided visit, not a personal host taking you from room to room. The atmosphere can be peaceful, but it can also get crowded, especially on weekends and public holidays.

Finding the entrance and checking in on the seventh floor

The address is 2-7-1 Shinko, Naka-ku, Yokohama. Some visitors arrive by walking from Sakuragicho Station, while a free hotel shuttle is available from Yokohama Station’s West Exit. The shuttle ride takes about five minutes. The building is close to Minatomirai attractions, but do not assume every station is right at the door.

One useful detail: the public entrance may not look like a large bathhouse entrance. If you are unsure where to go, take the elevator to the seventh floor, where the front counter is located. You will need to show the voucher on your phone, and staff operate the ticket validation. Do not validate it yourself.

Check-in can take longer than expected if staff ask about club membership. Membership is not required for entry with a valid voucher, but the process may not be explained clearly. If you are asked to sign up and do not want to, calmly confirm that you can enter with your booking without joining. Keep the voucher open and ready to show.

The booking voucher must be accessed through the Klook app or website on a phone with internet access. A screenshot or downloaded file may not be enough if the required voucher page will not load, so check your connection before you reach the counter. Once the voucher has been redeemed, you cannot re-enter after leaving.

What your admission package covers

The listed package is admission with a towel set and rental wear. Consumption tax and the towel rental fee are included, which simplifies packing and avoids the need to bring your own bath towel. You will still need to pay the JPY 100 bathing tax onsite, and food, drinks, massages, and other personal purchases are extra.

The rental wear is useful outside the bathing area, where you can move between floors and relax in the facility. For bathing, follow the posted rules and staff instructions. The venue provides towels, and some personal care items, such as shampoo and skin-care products, have also been available onsite. The exact supplies may vary, so bring any item you rely on.

There is an upgrade option for access to the stone sauna room. Check the package details before booking if that facility is important to you, since the standard package described here is admission, towels, and rental wear. The starting price is $22.10, but the total cost rises if you add food, treatments, or other services.

Indoor baths, outdoor water, and sauna time

The main bathing areas have indoor and outdoor options, with several types of baths and sauna facilities. The range gives you a reason to move around rather than settle into one pool for the whole visit. Still, set your expectations: some visitors find the public bath smaller than they imagined, even while enjoying the outdoor baths and the overall facilities.

The open-air baths are a particular draw. They let you soak outside while keeping the focus on the warm water and the view. In cooler weather, the contrast between the water and the air can make the visit especially appealing. On a rainy day, the outdoor area can still be enjoyable, but check the weather and dress for the walk between spaces.

If you are interested in the stone sauna, confirm that your chosen package includes it. Other sauna options are available, and the baths vary in temperature and style. The bathing areas are separated by gender, as is customary at Japanese public baths, and you should be ready to bathe without a swimsuit unless staff or posted rules say otherwise.

Hot springs are not suitable for everyone. The facility does not admit people with infectious diseases, hyperthyroidism, or tuberculosis. The activity is also not recommended for people with conditions such as high blood pressure or epilepsy, and hot springs can pose risks for people who are pregnant, have bleeding disorders or heart problems, or use a pacemaker. If any of these apply to you, seek medical advice before booking.

The rooftop foot bath and Yokohama views

The rooftop foot bath is one of the club’s strongest reasons to stay after your full-body soak. From the upper floor, you can rest your feet in warm water and look toward the Ferris wheel, the sea, and Minatomirai’s city lights. The view is most memorable after dark, though weather and visibility can change what you see.

You do not need to be a bathhouse regular to enjoy this part. It offers an easy, low-key way to take in the waterfront without planning a separate observation stop. If you are visiting with someone who wants a break from the main baths, the rooftop can also be a good place to meet up and unwind.

The upper floors include more than the foot bath. A game area has crane machines, with some games costing JPY 300 or JPY 500 per play. These are optional extras, not part of the admission package, but they add a playful note to a facility that could otherwise feel like an all-bath, all-day commitment.

Food, rest areas, manga, and a possible overnight stop

Manyo Club can fill several hours because the baths are only one part of the visit. There are restaurants, a large resting area, manga, and places to watch television or relax. Food choices include meals such as shabu-shabu and rice bowls, and visitors have also praised the coffee jelly. Restaurant service can be uneven, so if an order is delayed or missing, check in rather than waiting too long.

The rest areas are useful if you want a pause between bathing and eating. Some have recliners, and the facility can work as a place to rest late into the night. But do not mistake a reclining chair for a proper private room or guaranteed sleeping space. Seating can be hard to find when the club is busy, and some people find the rest areas less comfortable than expected.

An overnight stay may suit you if you are looking for a budget-conscious place to rest in Yokohama, but it is not the same as booking a hotel room. Sleeping arrangements are communal, and noise or distance from lockers may bother light sleepers. If a quiet, private night matters, choose a regular hotel instead.

How long to stay, and when to go

The listed opening hours are Monday to Sunday, 10:00 am to 2:59 am. The onsen is open until 3:00 am the next day, but extra charges apply before 10:00 am or after 3:00 am. Hours can change with the season, traffic, or weather, so check the official website before setting out.

For a quick bath, you can spend less time, but the better value comes from staying long enough to use more than one part of the facility. A few hours allows time for the baths, rooftop foot bath, and a meal or rest. If you want massage or another paid service, leave room in your schedule and budget.

Weekday visits or later evening arrivals may feel calmer, but crowd levels are not guaranteed. Weekends and public holidays can bring queues for entry, bathing, and the shuttle. A late visit may avoid some of the day’s foot traffic, though the club can still be busy.

What to know before you book

At $22.10 to start, the package is good value if you use the baths and stay long enough to enjoy the included towel set and rental wear. It is less compelling if you only want a short soak and do not care about the rooftop, sauna, or rest areas. Add the JPY 100 bathing tax and any food or paid services when comparing the cost with other plans.

The activity is not stroller- or wheelchair-accessible and is not recommended for anyone with impaired mobility. Children aged 0 to 17 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Anyone who needs diapers cannot enter or participate.

Tattoos are generally not permitted, but the club allows them if they can be fully covered with its designated cover seals. Up to two seals are available, each measuring 11 by 20 centimetres. Confirm at the facility if you are unsure whether your tattoos can be covered.

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, and intoxicated people may be refused entry without a refund. Storage areas are available, with rates to be confirmed onsite. The voucher is valid for 90 days from the booking confirmation date and expires at 2:00 am on its final day. The supplied notice lists a closure from May 9 to June 30, 2025; those dates have passed, but check current opening information before booking.

Should you book Manyo Club?

Book Manyo Club if you want more than a quick bath: the open-air pools, rooftop foot bath, food, and places to rest make it a satisfying half-day break in Minatomirai. It is especially appealing after a day on foot, or when you want a warm-weather-independent plan with a memorable waterfront view.

Think twice if you need a quiet, clearly guided experience in English, have mobility needs, or expect a small, serene spa. Staff support and orientation can be uneven, the facility can get crowded, and some areas feel more like a busy leisure center than a tranquil retreat. If those trade-offs work for you, the included towels and rental wear, range of facilities, and rooftop view make the starting price worthwhile.
