Yokohama, Izu and Shizuoka attractions: which to book

Start with the weather and the map

These nine tickets fall into two groups on the map. Four are inside Yokohama, and five are spread across Shizuoka Prefecture, where XTOUR's reading is that the distances between them make one a day's plan rather than a set to combine. Chibi Maruko-chan Land is in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, not on the Izu Peninsula, according to the address on SkyGate's listing.[9] So decide first whether you want Yokohama, or the Izu coast, or a Shizuoka City stop, and then choose between the tickets in that group.

In Yokohama: garden, bath, animals or an exhibition

Sankeien Garden Ticket is the outdoor choice: SkyGate describes a 175,000-square-metre Japanese garden with ponds, seasonal planting and historic buildings, including a three-storey pagoda and the early Edo-period Rinshunkaku, and lists a single Admission option.[1] One thing has changed for the pagoda: the garden's notice of 17 July 2026 says large-scale repairs to the former Tomyoji three-storey pagoda start in April 2027, after which the pagoda will be enclosed and cannot be seen.[10] SkyGate's page says wheelchairs are available at the Main Gate and South Gate subject to availability, and that much of the garden has gravel paths. The garden's home page showed hours of 9:00 to 17:00 on the day XTOUR read it, and SkyGate says last admission is 30 minutes before closing.[10][1]

Yokohama Minato Mirai Manyo Club Onsen Experience is a bath, and its three options are the point. SkyGate lists Admission, Admission (Preschoolers: 3-6 Years), and Admission + Bedrock Bath; only the third states the bedrock bath. The price includes a towel, and the options include indoor wear. SkyGate's listing says tattoos must be completely covered by no more than two facility-designated stickers, that mixed-gender bathing is not permitted for children 120 cm or taller or in the first year of primary school or above, and that guests without accommodation cannot leave and re-enter. XTOUR could not read facility detail on the operator's group site, so the water source and rooftop footbath rest on SkyGate's description alone.[2]

Anitouch Minatomirai Ticket is an indoor animal park: SkyGate describes capybaras, ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, owls and a two-toed sloth, and says feeding is offered for an extra charge.[3] The operator says more than 20 species share a free-roaming space and that visitors can offer treats and join photo sessions, with weekday hours of 10:30 to 19:00 on the page read.[12] SkyGate's page says wheelchairs cannot enter the capybara and ring-tailed lemur room or the free-roaming areas, that visitors with animal allergies are not permitted, and that admission or time limits may apply when it is crowded.[3]

Mystery of Tutankhamen Exhibition Ticket in Yokohama is the only dated event here. SkyGate describes around 130 near life-size replicas of burial objects, a 360-degree recreation of the burial chamber and projection visuals, at PLOT48 in Minato Mirai according to the organiser's Japanese page.[11] SkyGate's booking calendar, checked on 29 September 2026, shows open dates from 30 September to 31 October 2026 Japan time, and the listing stops being bookable after the last open date.[4] The organiser's page names no closing date, so XTOUR does not know whether the exhibition continues past October. The organiser's page also announces night-museum sessions and marks the October ones sold out; SkyGate's option text does not mention them, so XTOUR treats them as separate from this ticket.[4][11] SkyGate says re-entry is not permitted after leaving, and that steps stop wheelchair users reaching some displays close up, with elevator access between floors from staff. There are two options: Admission and a junior and high school student option for ages 12 to 18 with a valid student ID.[4]

On the Izu coast and beyond: five different kinds of day

ACAO FOREST Ticket in Atami is the garden option, and the one with workshop choices. SkyGate describes a hillside park in Atami with 13 themed gardens, art installations and Soga Sengen Shrine. The operator's own page did not return readable text when XTOUR tried it, so the garden count is SkyGate's and unconfirmed. The three options are Admission, Admission + Nail Oil Making Experience and Admission + Solid Perfume Making Experience, and SkyGate does not describe what either workshop involves. SkyGate lists the workshop options at two hours and admission alone at one, says the park may close in severe weather, and gives last admission as one hour before closing.[5]

Izu Teddy Bear Museum Ticket is the small indoor choice, in Ito: SkyGate describes antique bears from the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom, artist bears, and a Steiff bear from 1904 called Teddy Girl. The operator's home page lists a collections gallery, gift shop, tea room, cookie shop and workshops but did not name individual bears, so the 1904 bear rests on SkyGate alone. Options are Admission and Admission (Youth: 12-18 Years).[6]

Atagawa Tropical and Alligator Garden Ticket mixes animals and greenhouses. SkyGate describes around 100 crocodilians from 16 species and hybrids, western red pandas, an Amazonian manatee and about 5,000 tropical plant species.[7] The operator says one ticket covers the main garden, crocodile garden, botanical garden and other areas, gives hours of 9:00 to 17:00 with tickets sold until 16:30, and says crocodile feeding is on Wednesdays and Sundays, and in winter Sundays only.[13] It is a single-option ticket.[7]

iZoo and KawaZoo Common Ticket is really two venues: its one option is the iZoo + KawaZoo Common Admission, covering iZoo for reptiles and amphibians and KawaZoo for more than 120 species of frogs, valid for two days with one day's entry to each. SkyGate's page says the two are about an 18-minute drive (11 km) apart with no transfer provided, and that you exchange the voucher at the ticket counter before the last admission time. It gives iZoo hours as 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the operator's page gives KawaZoo as 10:00 to 16:30 with last admission at 16:00.[14] SkyGate's page warns that iZoo has many steps and staircases.[8]

Chibi Maruko-chan Land Ticket is a fan attraction rather than a nature stop: SkyGate says it recreates scenes such as the Sakura family living room and Maruko's classroom, with themed zones, photo spots and the Momoko Sakura Museum, and that re-entry is permitted on the same day.[9] The operator's Japanese page shows 10:00 to 20:00 with last admission at 19:30.[15] SkyGate lists one Admission option, with adult ages 12 to 64 and a senior category from 65.[9]

How to choose

• Outdoors in Yokohama: the Sankeien Garden Ticket, keeping the 2027 pagoda repair in mind.
• A bath rather than a sight: the Yokohama Minato Mirai Manyo Club Onsen Experience, choosing the Bedrock Bath option only if you want it.
• Indoors with animals, in the city: the Anitouch Minatomirai Ticket.
• A dated exhibition in Yokohama: the Mystery of Tutankhamen ticket, before its last open date.
• Flowers, herbs and a workshop, on the Atami coast: the ACAO FOREST Ticket in Atami.
• Animals of unusual kinds on the Izu Peninsula: the Atagawa Tropical and Alligator Garden Ticket, or the iZoo and KawaZoo Common Ticket if you want reptiles and frogs and can manage two sites.
• Collections indoors: the Izu Teddy Bear Museum Ticket.
• Anime fans in Shizuoka City: the Chibi Maruko-chan Land Ticket.

Before you book

• Confirm the Tutankhamen date is inside SkyGate's calendar; the last open date shown on 29 September 2026 was 31 October.[4]
• Check opening hours on the operator's page for your date, because SkyGate tells buyers to do this for most of these venues.[9][8][7][6][5][1]
• For iZoo and KawaZoo, plan your own transport between the two.[8]
