Yokohama Dining Guide: Bay Views, Hotel Meals and a Cruise
Yokohama is a useful choice when you want the setting to be part of the meal: a view across the bay, a hotel dining room or time on the water. Start with the reviews below, then choose a lunch or evening that fits your plans.
For lunch with a view: Takayouji
Takayouji’s Japanese lunch sets are the place to start for a daytime meal in Minato Mirai. The review covers the food, view, price range at the time of writing and practical details, including how lunch arrangements differ from dinner.
For a special evening: Iron Bay or SUBZERO
Iron Bay at The Westin Yokohama combines wood-fire cooking with a high-floor hotel setting. My review includes the dinner and bill for two, making it useful when planning an occasion.
SUBZERO offers a different waterfront experience at the pier. Compare its setting and course with Iron Bay rather than choosing on the view alone. If a window seat matters, ask when reserving; requests depend on availability.
For time on the water: Marine Rouge
A Marine Rouge dining cruise makes the journey part of the occasion. Read the review first, then confirm the current sailing, boarding point, course and arrival requirements when booking. Give the cruise its own time in the day.
For Italian food or a relaxed lunch
- Ristorante UMIRIA — a refined Italian lunch.
- Trattoria Tabule — a relaxed Italian meal.
- The Mitsumoto — aged beef and specialty coffee.
Turn the meal into a day out
Choose one main reservation, then leave time around it for a waterfront walk. My Yokohama day-trip guide connects these restaurant choices with a flexible route. For a garden lunch and a cultural outing instead, compare Yokohama and Kamakura.
