360-degree Sky Voyage at Hoshino Resorts

OMO5 Yokohama Bashamichi by Hoshino Resorts has opened its doors. The brand’s first apartment-style hotel, and its first OMO property in Yokohama, it rises on the former Yokohama City Hall site, part of a larger redevelopment reshaping the city’s civic heart.

Later this year, OMO7 Yokohama will follow, giving the OMO brand a dual foothold in a port city long accustomed to arrivals and departures.

Yokohama is shaped by movement, ships crossing the harbour, light shifting across glass towers, the sea pressing its horizon into the city’s edge. Old brick warehouses sit alongside steel and sky. Day gives way to night, and the city rearranges itself again.

Under the concept of a “360-degree Sky Voyage,” the hotel occupies floors 46 to 51 of a landmark tower directly connected to Bashamichi Station. At 154 metres above ground, the view is uninterrupted. From guest rooms and shared spaces, the city spreads outward, a living map of water, streets and light.

OMO5 Yokohama Bashamichi is designed for travellers who want to stay rather than pass through. All 175 rooms are equipped with kitchens and washer-dryers, inviting a rhythm closer to everyday life. Many feature separate living and sleeping areas, spaces that allow for cooking, resting, gathering.

Accommodation ranges from studios to expansive apartment-style rooms. The OMO House offers 50–60 square metres of warm, nautical-toned space, its sofas doubling as beds. The OMO House Corner Suite, at 136 square metres, includes an island kitchen and three bedrooms, opening the hotel experience to families and groups.

Interiors draw on the language of ships’ cabins. Leather straps, brass-toned rails, restrained colour. Large windows frame Yokohama as if from a private berth, the view always changing, the city never quite still.

The reception flows into the circular OMO Base, a shared space inspired by a ship’s wheelhouse. Here, the nightscape takes centre stage. Guests move between viewing decks: one facing the harbour, where ships slide quietly across the dark water; another designed to amplify the city lights, mirrored and blackened, the skyline reflected back on itself.

The OMO Base also houses spaces for play and pause, billiards, board games, a gallery tracing the port town’s cultural layers, a small theatre screening classic films. In the evenings, a self-service cocktail bar opens, accompanied by low-key games and lucky draws, the city glowing beyond the glass.

Curated experiences are subtle rather than prescriptive. “Nightscape Moments” invite guests to choose themed boxes from a vending machine, each offering prompts for how to look, what to notice, when to linger.

Beyond the building, the Go-KINJO service encourages exploration of the surrounding streets. OMO Rangers share local knowledge through hand-drawn maps and quiet recommendations, pointing guests toward the lived textures of Yokohama rather than its highlights alone.

From above, the city appears ordered. At street level, it loosens. OMO5 Yokohama Bashamichi sits between the two.
