On Nov. 21 there was the first major concert event at K-Arena Yokohama. The concert was packed to full house and after the concert there were major traffic jam of people coming out from K-Arena Yokohama. Usually, walk between JR Yokohama station and K-Arena Yokohama is about 10-15 min. Many reported 1 - 1.5 hr. to get to JR Yokohama station from K-Arena Yokohama. Some reported that they took 2 hrs. to get to JR Yokohama station after the concert.
May want to avoid staying at Hilton Yokohama when there is a major event at K-Arena Yokohama. Just a thought....
The new pedestrian bridge is being built not to help people walking to/from the Hilton but to help divert people leaving K-Arena Yokohama after an event.
if you check
this website you’ll know when events are on (usually about twice a week). Unless you are going to an event at K-Arena Yokohama you are unlikely to want to stay at the Hilton if you check the price they charge. The lowest rate currently available on the night of 23 Dec is
¥149,435 ($1,010).
