Yokosuka Essentials

Yokosuka’s maritime heritage is anchored by the Mikasa, the world's last remaining pre-dreadnought battleship, and the naval vistas from Shioiri Pier. The city’s geography offers diverse coastal landscapes, from the rugged rock formations at Arasaki Park to the Tokyo Bay views at Umikaze Park.
