HYROX is officially landing in Yokohama on August 9, 2025, marking the first-ever HYROX race in the city and a landmark moment for the sport’s expansion in Asia. Hosted at Pacifico Yokohama, a world-class convention center in the scenic Minato Mirai district, the event has already sold out—a clear sign of high demand and growing HYROX momentum in Japan.
If you’re traveling from overseas, you’re in good hands: Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) is just 25km away, and Japan’s infrastructure makes getting around fast, clean, and stress-free. The local time zone is UTC+9, and August in Yokohama brings hot and humid summer weather, with temperatures often soaring above 32°C (90°F). While the race is indoors, hydration and heat management will be essential before and after competition.
Yokohama isn’t just another race destination—it’s a full racecation experience. The city blends modern Japanese efficiency with a calm, harbor-side vibe that’s ideal for recovery and exploration. From cherry blossom-lined streets to iconic views of the bay, it offers athletes a reset from Tokyo’s intensity without losing urban convenience.
After the finish line, recovery options abound. Nearby hotels like The Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu and InterContinental Yokohama Grand feature spas, hydrotherapy, and massage services. Want to immerse yourself in Japanese culture? Try Spa EAS, an onsen-style wellness center offering mineral-rich hot springs and aromatherapy—a perfect way to unwind and replenish.
The local food scene is another highlight. Dive into authentic Japanese flavors at the Ramen Museum, or grab a post-race bite at Farmers Market Yokohama, which features organic, seasonal dishes including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Chinatown is a short stroll away and offers dim sum, shumai, and steamed buns packed with flavor. For a quieter bite, Bills Yokohama serves fresh smoothies and wholesome breakfasts by the water.
With hotel rates between $70–130 USD per night, clean public transport, and easy access to attractions, Yokohama is a smart and stylish choice for athletes planning a purposeful race trip.
Whether you’re pushing for a PB or soaking in the culture, HYROX Yokohama promises more than a race—it delivers a full-spectrum athlete experience. It’s HYROX, Japanese-style: efficient, energizing, and unforgettable.
