Hakkei Island, a hidden gem floating in Yokohama Bay. This tiny island feels like a dream—a lush green speck surrounded by shimmering blue waters, accessible only by footbridge. With no crowds, just winding paths and a quiet shrine, it’s pure serenity. At dawn, mist curls around the trees like ink on silk; at dusk, the sun paints the sea in molten gold. It’s the kind of place that makes you forget the world outside.








Everything you need to know about Hakkei Island
Hakkeijima Seaside Hotel offers stunning ocean views and is just a 3-minute walk from the island's amusement attractions. The hotel features minimalist Japanese design with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing panoramic vistas of Yokohama Bay and the illuminated Rainbow Bridge at night. Guests enjoy access to an on-site hot spring bath and fresh seafood dining. Located just 15 minutes from Yokohama Station via subway, it’s highly accessible. Nearby activities include jet skiing and glass-bottom boat tours for unique marine exploration—perfect for families and couples seeking memorable island experiences.
The most convenient option is taking the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line directly to "Hakkeijima Station," which takes only about 15 minutes from central Yokohama with no transfers needed. The ride offers scenic views of the city and harbor, and you’ll be steps away from the island’s theme park and hotels upon arrival. Alternatively, you can board a ferry from Yokohama Port, a 10-minute journey offering breathtaking views of the Red Brick Warehouses and Minato Mirai skyline. Both options provide efficient and comfortable access, ideal for day trips or overnight stays.
The highlight is Hakkeijima Sea Life Park, home to Japan’s largest whale shark aquarium and featuring interactive touch pools and an underwater tunnel. Another major attraction is Ocean Park, packed with thrilling roller coasters, water slides, and family-friendly rides perfect for all ages. Don’t miss the nightly light show and bustling seafood street food market, which draws crowds every evening. We recommend arriving in the late afternoon to enjoy dinner first, then experience the dazzling light spectacle under the stars. The park offers comprehensive signage and barrier-free pathways, ensuring accessibility and comfort for visitors of all ages.
Staying in a seaview suite at Hakkeijima Seaside Hotel offers private balconies and 270-degree ocean views, where you can watch the Rainbow Bridge lights sparkle at night. Some rooms feature onsen bathtubs, paired with gourmet seafood breakfasts for a luxurious retreat. Exclusive guest perks include after-hours guided tours through the closed aquarium and stargazing walks along the waterfront. Guests also enjoy free access to the pool, fitness center, and priority entry to the theme park. These immersive experiences transform your stay into more than just lodging—it becomes a full sensory journey into the island’s natural and cultural essence.
