From Shibuya Station to Minatomirai Station takes 32 minutes on a faster train. This article puts together a one-day route through CUPNOODLES MUSEUM YOKOHAMA in Minato Mirai (Minato Mirai 21), Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse and Osanbashi, Yamashita Park and Hikawa Maru, and Yokohama Chinatown, using only the values on the official websites of each facility and railway company.

Getting there

How to get from Tokyo to Yokohama

• The travel times and fares in the table come from a search made on October 25, 2026, with the fare and route search on the Tokyo Metro official website, for trains departing at 11:00 on October 27 (Tuesday) and at 11:00 on October 31 (Saturday). The results were the same on both days.
• The fares for trains from Shibuya Station and from Shinjuku-sanchome Station are the sum of each railway company’s fare. For example, a paper ticket from Shibuya Station to Minatomirai Station is the total of the Tokyu Railways fare from Shibuya Station to Yokohama Station and the Minatomirai Line fare from Yokohama Station to Minatomirai Station.
• According to the Tokyo Metro timetable, trains leaving Shibuya Station and going to Motomachi-Chukagai Station run 16 times an hour in every hour from 12:00 to 15:59, on weekdays as well as on Saturdays and holidays.
• From Yokohama Station to Minatomirai Station takes 3 minutes on the Minatomirai Line, and the fare is ¥193 with an IC card or ¥200 with a paper ticket. If you ride the Minatomirai Line from Motomachi-Chukagai Station to Yokohama Station on the way back, the fare is ¥224 with an IC card or ¥230 with a paper ticket.

The Shinkansen and Shin-Yokohama Station

The Shinkansen stops at Shin-Yokohama Station, which is a different station from Yokohama Station on the Minatomirai Line. According to a search on the JR Central official website, Tokyo Station to Shin-Yokohama Station takes 17 minutes on the Tokaido Shinkansen, and the fare plus the limited express ticket comes to ¥1,380. From Shin-Yokohama Station to Yokohama Station takes 7 to 11 minutes on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line, and the fare is ¥242 with an IC card or ¥250 with a paper ticket.

About the Tokyo Subway Ticket

The Tokyo Subway Ticket covers Tokyo Metro lines and Toei Subway lines. The Tokyu Toyoko Line, the Minatomirai Line, and JR are not listed in the coverage described in the official information. Trains on the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line continue onto the Tokyu Toyoko Line beyond Shibuya Station. If you take a through train from Shinjuku-sanchome Station to Yokohama, you pay the fares for the Tokyu Toyoko Line and the Minatomirai Line beyond Shibuya Station separately from the Tokyo Subway Ticket. The Tokyo Subway Ticket is explained in Tokyo Subway Ticket (24, 48 and 72 hours) | Prices, where to buy it and how to use Tokyo's unlimited subway pass.
