Yokohama Cruise
Yokohama Cruise
Posted by dmc62 on March 24, 2025 at 1:58 pmI need to find an 4 star accessible hotel in Yokohama before and after a cruise
in March 2026 . From my research most hotels I have seen on the web
pages that say they are accessible have baths in them but I need a roll
in shower so I can use the shower on my commode chair that has wheels
that we travel with. Any suggestions please ?KandL replied 1 day, 18 hours ago 5 Members · 9 Replies- 9 Replies
Toyoko Inn chain has heartfelt rooms with roll in showers.
Thanks but I am looking for a 4 star or equiv if possible
I am also looking for a 4 star plus hotel in Tokyo with a roll in shower but I am travelling in October 2026, glad I have given myself plenty of time to plan and book
I found this hotel in Ginza,Tokyo on Booking.com and was able to make a booking 12 months in advance – The Royal Park Hotel
Ginza 6-ChomeIt is 230m from Higashi-ginza Station which has a single train operating from Haneda airport.
There are no bath tubs in the 21m2 Standard double rooms and I have attached a pic of the shower.

Thanks for your help, really appreciated
We stayed at Hilton Tokyo in Shinjuku and it was a very nice room with roll in shower. Hotel overall was very nice and in a nice location.
@DMC62 Hi David-san,
A cruise from Yokohama sounds wonderful!
As you found out, most accessible rooms in Japanese hotels have bathtubs, because as you know, Japanese people love taking baths!
So, here are some 4 star or higher hotels in Yokohama that have bathtubs but also have spacious shower areas that are accessible for wheelchairs and shower chairs;
2 beds room
The Kahala Hotel & Resort https://thekahala.jp/en/yokohama/
1 bed room
InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 https://www.icyokohama-pier8.com/en/
Mitsui Garden Hotel Yokohama Minatomirai Premier https://www.gardenhotels.co.jp/yokohama-minatomirai-premier/eng/
There are often no photos or room plans on the web, but if you make an enquiry, they will tell you the details.
There are also quite a few accessible rooms at Japanese hotels that only accept reservations by “telephone”, so if you are having difficulties with reservations, we can make arrangements for you, so please send us a direct message on tabifolk.
Have a great stay!
Thanks- I will check these out
