The GREEN×EXPO 2027 venue has no railway station; you take a shuttle bus from one of four stations. If you are travelling with a stroller or wheelchair, or with older relatives, you will be thinking about steps at the station, the walk to the bus stop, and facilities at the venue.
The station facilities below are from each station’s official page, and the fare, parking and ticket rules are from the organiser’s announcements. We have not yet walked the routes from the gates to the bus stops ourselves. Links to the station maps are in the sources; please check them before you travel.
1. Four rules to know first
| Item | Details | Source |

2. Station facilities confirmed on official pages
| Station | Line | Lift | Escalator | Multipurpose toilet | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seya | Sotetsu Main Line | Yes | Yes | Yes (ostomate, universal sheet) | No baby changing sheet; baby keeps in men’s and women’s toilets |
| Mitsukyo | Sotetsu Main Line | Yes | Yes | Yes (ostomate, universal sheet) | As above; Bank of Yokohama ATM |
| Tokaichiba | JR Yokohama Line | Yes | Yes | Accessible toilet | Braille fare chart; mobility scooters can use the gate-to-platform route |
| Minami-machida Grandberry Park | Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line | Yes | Not listed | Wheelchair, ostomate and baby sheet | No ramp |
Mobility scooters are accepted at every Sotetsu station. Seya’s page notes that the passage near the Ebina-end door of car 10 on platforms 3 and 4 is narrow, and asks passengers to use other doors.
Tokyu offers a pre-booking service for boarding assistance on all lines except the Setagaya and Kodomonokuni lines. It says staff with service-care certification are posted at stations. Sotetsu says it is installing wider ticket gates and ticket machines with recessed bases.
The official pages do not say in words how many gates each station has or exactly where the bus stops are. The two Sotetsu stations and JR Tokaichiba publish station maps; check those before you go.
3. Choosing a station
- From Yokohama Station: Sotetsu Main Line to Mitsukyo or Seya. Limited expresses skip both, so take a local, rapid or commuter express. Trains start from Yokohama, which makes a seat easier to get when you have a stroller.
- From Shin-Yokohama (Shinkansen): JR Yokohama Line to Tokaichiba, no transfer. Good if you have a lot of luggage.
- From Shibuya or the Den-en-toshi Line: Minami-machida Grandberry Park; expresses stop, and the adjoining mall is useful for breaks and supplies.
- To avoid crowds: no station has been announced as quieter. Shuttle bus operating hours, peak-time intervals and ride times to the venue are in the table below.
Shuttle buses are scheduled to run from 8:30am to 10:30pm, with the last departure from the venue also at 10:30pm.
| Station | Peak-time interval | Ride time to the venue |
|---|---|---|
| Seya | About 1 bus every 1.5-3 min | About 10 min |
| Mitsukyo | About 1 bus every 2-6 min | About 15 min |
| Minami-machida Grandberry Park | About 1 bus every 1-3 min | About 20 min |
| Tokaichiba | About 1 bus every 1-3 min | About 25 min |

4. The venue’s accessibility policy
In March 2025 the organiser adopted the GREEN×EXPO 2027 Accessibility Guidelines. They cover facilities (built to Japan’s barrier-free standards), services and transport support, and follow the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic and Expo 2025 guidelines. Review meetings that included disabled people and academics ran from September 2024 to March 2025. The guidelines are now being put into practice under the name GREEN×EXPO Accessibility.
Details of stroller and wheelchair rental, nursing rooms and rest areas inside the venue have not been published as of this article.
5. Booking order
- Choose a ticket and check whether the special discount applies.
- Reserve your entry date and time (open since 18 September 2026; changeable up to three times).
- Reserve the shuttle bus or a car park. It is a separate site from your entry booking, so check that both have space first. Accessible parking is in the north car park only.
- If you need a hotel, book it the day your date is set. Staying near a shuttle-bus station or around Yokohama Station means less travel.
The organiser’s FAQ says the shuttle fleet is mainly low-floor buses, though a different type of vehicle may run at some times of day. What the waiting areas at the bus stops are like is still unconfirmed.
Correction (18 September 2026): in “Booking order”, we said the shuttle bus or car park should be booked on or after the day you reserve your entry. The organiser’s FAQ only says they are booked separately, on different sites; there is no set order.
