Container Hotel

Yokohama, said to be Japan’s busiest seaport, is a city by the bay. This seaside resort is made of shipping containers that have been painted white and opened to staying guests. The “Bayside Marina Hotel Yokohama,” in the city’s Kanazawa Ward, consists of 31 container “cabins.” Some containers are stacked vertically, and some are stand-alone. Each functions as a single maisonnette-style room offering a view of boats in the nearby harbor. The hotel is located about one hour from the center of Tokyo.
