Where to stay in Tsuzuki-ku
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Tsuzuki-ku is a quiet residential ward, not a hotel quarter. Rooms are hard to come by across Tsuzuki-ku. Its neighbourhoods sit among the low ridges of Yokohama, laid out around parks and the ancient sites rather than lodgings, so most visitors base themselves in central Yokohama and travel out.
Stay near the Yokohama History Museum for the ward's calm greenbelt and the reconstructed Ōtsuka-Saikachido Site beside it. The subway ties it back to the city.

About Tsuzuki-ku
What are the main landmarks in Tsuzuki-ku?
The ward's landmarks reach far back into prehistory. The Yokohama History Museum anchors this story, and the reconstructed Ōtsuka-Saikachido Site stands in the park beside it. Older ground lies all around.
Burial mounds and settlement traces survive at the Hanamiyama Site, the Ninomaru Site, and the Uenoyama Site, whose Uenoyama kofun group crowns a wooded rise above the valley floor. Tsuzuki Minka-en preserves an old farmhouse nearby.
What is the history of Tsuzuki-ku?
People have lived across Tsuzuki-ku since the Stone Age. The Hanamiyama Site and the Ōtsuka-Saikachido Site record early villages set on the ridges above the valleys. The land came first.
Farmers worked these slopes for centuries, and the farmhouse kept at Tsuzuki Minka-en recalls that rural past before Yokohama's suburbs spread across the hills and folded the ward into the city. The Yokohama History Museum gathers those threads together.
Where is Tsuzuki-ku?
