Things to Do

Recommended famous attractions in Yokohama to make your independent trip even more enriching

Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

From the Meiji to Taisho periods in Japan, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse was once one of the most advanced warehouses in the world as a logistics hub. The warehouse consists of two buildings, Building No. 1 and Building No. 2. The exterior still preserves the European-style red brick architecture, while the interior has been renovated into a cultural, entertainment, and shopping complex with shops, restaurants, and a multipurpose hall. Its romantic night view is also one of the charms of the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse that should not be missed.

Sankeien Garden

A Japanese garden built by the famous Japanese man of letters and businessman Hara Sankei. This vast garden covers 175,000 square meters and is skillfully arranged with many historic buildings relocated from Kyoto and Kamakura, including nationally designated important cultural properties. Flowers bloom throughout the four seasons in the garden, so seasonal flower-viewing events are often held here.

Yokohama Marine Tower

Built in 1961 (Showa 36) to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port. This 106-meter-high tower, designed in the style of a lighthouse, is one of Yokohama’s symbols. It can be seen from many places around the bay area and is beloved by Yokohama residents. After being renovated in 2022, it has become an even more attractive destination.

▶ What Do You Need to Prepare for [2026 Yokohama Marathon] Race Entry + Great Value Selected 2-Night Stay?

■ Running shoes: Ones you've already broken in and that fit your foot type — never race in brand-new shoes
■ Clothing: Breathable, quick-dry running gear, plus sun protection or a windbreaker depending on the season
■ Fuel: Energy gels, salt tabs, energy bars — refuel as needed during the race!
■ Extras: Grab an eSIM so you can stay connected the whole trip

▶ How Should You Take Energy Gels During an AsiaYo Full/Half Marathon?

AsiaYo's runner tips on energy gel timing:

  • Energy gels are the most common and effective on-course fuel for half and full marathons, helping runners maintain blood sugar and stave off fatigue during long-distance running.
  • A good rule of thumb: take one gel about 30 minutes before the race, then keep it consistent with another gel roughly every 45 minutes (or every 10K) during the race.
  • Always wash it down with water to avoid stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea — and skip pairing it with sports drinks, which can push your sugar intake too high.
  • If you're using caffeinated gels, save them for the back half of the race (around the last 7K of a half, or after 30K in a full) for a boost in focus and to fight fatigue — don't rely on them the whole way through.

▶ Where Are the Hotels in the Marathon Packages Located — Are They Close to the Start/Finish Line?

AsiaYo's marathon package hotel selection strategy puts runners first. Here's what we prioritize:

  • Hotels near the start or finish line, so you don't have to wake up in the dark before the race and can get back to rest quickly afterward.
  • Transit hubs (like near subway stations or train stations), making it easy to get to the Expo or explore the city.
  • Some races offer an early-morning race-day shuttle as an add-on — and we make sure our hotels are located close to those shuttle pickup points whenever possible!

▶ What Is "Marathon Race-cation" (Marathon Travel)?

A "marathon race-cation" combines a marathon or road race with local sightseeing. With AsiaYo, you can handle race entry, accommodation, and transportation all in one place — making it easy to plan free time after the race to explore nearby attractions and try local food.

▶ What Add-On Services Are Available for AsiaYo Marathon Trips?

Once you've registered for a race, "AsiaYo's runner-focused travel agency" offers these exclusive add-ons for runners:

▶ What Should Marathon Beginners Keep in Mind?

  • ✔ Choosing a race: Start with races that have mild weather and flat terrain.
  • ✔ Understanding race entry: Some races require a lottery or early registration — keep an eye on key dates.
  • ✔ Gear prep: Break in your shoes, fuel, and gear ahead of time — never try something new on race day.

▶ Didn't Get Picked in the Japan Marathon Lottery? What Other Ways Can Overseas Runners Get a "Direct Entry" / Lottery-Free Spot?

Overseas runners typically get direct entry through:

  • Charity entries, which usually require a donation — though the minimum donation isn't exactly low
  • Semi-elite entries, generally reserved for high-level overseas runners who meet official qualifying times — a pretty high bar
  • Official authorized international travel agencies — keep an eye on AsiaYo's Japan Marathon Entry + Hotel Packages for popular marathon releases, offering lottery-free entry paired with accommodation near the start line, so you can prep with peace of mind!

▶ Which Japan Winter Marathons Are Best for Chasing a PB?

Japan's winter season (December–March) brings cool, dry weather — prime conditions for marathon running and ideal for long-distance racing. Here are some flat, well-known PB-friendly races in Japan:

  • Kobe Marathon: Held every November. The finish line was moved to Kobe Meriken Park, making the course overall flatter and faster, with gorgeous coastal views!
  • Tokyo New Year Half Marathon: Held every January. Nearly the entire course is flat with no sharp turns — the riverside route can get a bit windy at times, but if you avoid strong headwinds, it's a near-perfect race for chasing a PB!
  • Osaka Marathon (coming soon for 2027): Held every February. Wide roads with almost no long climbs, plenty of pacers, and plenty of Osaka specialties like takoyaki at the aid stations!
  • Himeji Castle Marathon (coming soon for 2027): Held every February. Some uphill early on, but flat and gently downhill in the back half — a hidden gem many local Japanese runners swear by for PBs!
  • Nagoya Women's Marathon (coming soon for 2027): Held every March. A straight, mostly flat course with very little elevation change — great for a strong performance!
