Also, would it be easy to find a ryokan in Yokohama that is near the main train station or in Chinatown? How about just a simple budget hotel? Currently not planning to make a reservation; just wing it.
mr vagabond and I will be there for 2 nights in early May. We didn't win the lottery, but willing to (and may actually have to) pay $250 per night for a room before heading out to catch our cruise.
Nartia express does go to Yokohama directly. Option B is google maps and take a non express train to get you there... a bit longer but not awful considering the distance and It’ll save some $$ that you could use towards the hotel.
Last time I non-revved to Japan I was able to get hotel rooms for 2 people for less than $100 in every city I visited using the ID90 Travel app. Didn’t try for a room in Tokyo but you may find deals using the app.
