2025 Yokosuka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

A small cape located on the border between Hayama Town and Yokosuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture. Currently, entry to the cape itself is prohibited. There is a beach, but compared to Kamakura, Enoshima, and Zushi, the atmosphere and clientele are much more relaxed, the scale is smaller, and the waves are calm. It's perfect for families to relax. The area is like a small hill, with a parking lot at the top. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji in the distance. It's never crowded, and it's a place that truly embodies the word 'relaxing.' 'Access' About 20 minutes by bus from JR Zushi Station or Keikyu Zushi-Hayama Station, get off at Chojagasaki. However, be aware that the surrounding roads can be congested during summer and weekends. If you take the No. 12 bus, it goes along the coast, so you can enjoy the scenery, but you will need to walk about 15 minutes from the Hayama Imperial Villa stop. 'Facilities' During the high season, there may be one or two beach houses, but the surrounding dining options are quite limited. There is a convenience store about a 10-minute walk away, and supermarkets and drugstores around the Hayama Imperial Villa, which is a 15-minute walk away. There is a public restroom near the parking lot. There are also public restrooms near the bus stop at Hayama Park, which is less than a 10-minute walk away, and at the Hayama Imperial Villa, which is a 15-minute walk away.

Do you know about the uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay? In this post, I would like to introduce you to Sarushima🌿 ---What is Sarushima? ------------------------------ Sarushima is an uninhabited island in Yokosuka Bay. It is said to be the largest natural island in Tokyo Bay. There are no accommodations on Sarushima🥺 However, it is only a 10-minute ferry ride away, so if you go in the morning, you can enjoy it even as a day trip! ! ---Experience the world of Laputa! ------------------ Sarushima was originally an uninhabited fortress. At the time, artillery batteries and ammunition stores were preserved as a key to protecting Tokyo Bay, and the ruins of the fortress remain in the middle of nature. This is why it is said to look like Ghibli's Castle in the Sky! If you want to know more about Sarushima, I recommend joining the Sarushima Exploration Tour (paid). The navigator will explain it in detail 🫶 Personally, I recommend going on a sunny day! ☀️ Because Sarushima has a lot of nature, the sunlight filtering through the trees creates a fantastic atmosphere like the world of Laputa. ---Lunch while watching the sea--- If you're hungry, head to Oceans Kitchen near Sarushima Pier! You can enjoy an original menu using local Yokosuka ingredients 🍴 If you want to enjoy a more special lunch, we recommend having a BBQ on the beach! (Reservation required) Equipment is rented at Sarushima. You can bring your own ingredients on the day, or if you arrange it in advance, it can be sent directly to Sarushima, so you can enjoy it easily 👍 ---Sea activities are also a must! --------- You can enjoy swimming in the sea at Sarushima only during the summer season 🌊 You can also rent a fishing rod and enjoy fishing. It's sure to be a wonderful memory of your summer vacation! ---Basic information------------------------------- [Address] 238-0019 1 Sarushima, Yokosuka, Kanagawa [Access] 🚃Keikyu Line Yokosuka Chuo Station ⇒ 15 minutes walk ⇒🛳Mikasa Terminal ⇒ 10 minutes by boat ⇒ Sarushima [Closed days] Open all year round *However, the ferry may be canceled due to weather. [Business hours] 9:30-17:00 (March-October) 9:30-16:00 (November-February) #Kanagawa #Kanagawa Prefecture #Kanagawa trip #Kanagawa sightseeing #Yokosuka #Yokosuka sightseeing #Yokosuka trip #Sarushima #Ghibli #Photogenic spot #Photogenic #Laputa #Laputa Castle in the Sky #Summer vacation

I went there using a Misaki Maguro Tuna Ticket. If you go to Misakiguchi Station, you can get there by bus. The parking lot is large, so you can also go by car. I went there in early August in the summer because I wanted to see the sunflower fields. There are sunflower fields in the park, and they are tall and maze-like, so children can enjoy them too. They are very photogenic, so taking photos is a must! It's a spot I want to go to during the summer holidays. #Misakiguchi #Kanagawa How to get there: About 20 minutes by bus from Misakiguchi Station Tourist attractions: Summer sunflower fields Dining & restaurants: There are a few, but many with children Shopping: There are souvenir shops

[Access] Keikyu Line Uraga Station [Attractions] ~Uraga, the city that opened its doors to the world~ Everyone knows that Uraga is known for being the city where Perry arrived in 1853. The moment you step out of the station, you can tell that Uraga is the city where Perry arrived. Perry's pictures are painted all over the signs and displays in the city, so you can feel the history directly. When you visit, we hope you take your time to stroll around. *Information as of November 2022. #AutumnTravel

#AutumnTravel This is it, this is it, this is it, this is it~♪ The station melody at Yokosuka Chuo Station is, of course, Yokosuka Story by Yamaguchi Momoe. (Yokosuka has JR Yokosuka Station and Keikyu Yokosuka Chuo Station.) The streets have a Showa-era feel to them. Many yakitori are 100 yen There are also standing yakitori restaurants. Grab some yakitori, munch on it, and pay by the number of skewers at the end. It's relaxing. ? It's just one street to Shinagawa, but unlike Tokyo, it has some similarities to the countryside.

Between Yokosuka Station and Keikyu Shioiri Station, there is Verny Park. As I happened to pass by, I saw the Nikko Monkey Corps!!! I used to see them on TV a lot. It brings back memories. With that in mind, I went to see them perform live. The monkeys' acrobatics and the little humorous moves are so clever! I wonder how they do it? Maybe they understand human laughter?! While I was thinking this, the act ended. Bravo!! It was a great show.

#AutumnTravel There are several ships docked at Yokosuka Station, and further in there are various battleships that you can visit on a cruise ship. If you bring your ticket stub for the Sarushima trip, you can get a 500 yen discount. The guide will tell you all sorts of interesting facts. The curry bread isn't that tasty (lol).

#AutumnTravel Sheeta! Pazu!! Muska laughs "Wahahaha". I was instantly transported to that world, and tears welled up in my eyes as I recalled the first time I saw the movie. Many years have passed, and the world I imagined back then is completely different, but I am still a traveler. It was a place where I could return to my childhood and take a time trip. The scenery made me wonder if the director had come here. There seem to be several of these all over Japan.

#AutumnTrip Yokosuka - Twilight - Oh the Port Blues. My first visit to Yokosuka, the city sung about in many famous songs. A warship greeted me in front of the station. A beautiful park stretches to Shioiri Station, On the way, I thought it was a whale, but it was a submarine. What can't you bring on a submarine? Answer: Fan Folding fans are a no-no! This is the last time, this is the last time This is Yokosuka~♪

#AutumnTrip At Soleil Hill, you can enjoy seasonal flowers. In autumn, you can enjoy cosmos flowers, marigolds, and autumn leaves! Autumn flower fields are nice 🍁🍁🍁 It's a theme park like a big park with lots of play equipment for children where you can play all day. There is also the sea and you can explore on the rocks, so you can do anything you want. Unfortunately, this year it is closed for the reopening in April next year, but it is a recommended spot to enjoy seasonal flowers such as cosmos and marigolds in autumn. 🌾🌾🌾 Nagai 4-chome, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 #Outings with kids #Autumn #Autumn leaf spot #Autumn leaf viewing #Autumn flower field #Photogenic spot

The only natural island in Tokyo Bay. You can enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year, such as fishing, swimming, and barbecues. Starting point for Sarushima Access to Mikasa Terminal About 15 minutes walk from Yokosuka Chuo Station on the Keikyu Line 27-10 Ogawacho, Yokosuka City

On the way from the Imperial Villa in Hayama to Sajima, there is a bakery that always has a line. Its name is "Ashina Bakery Ashibei". Although the store is small, there are always so many kinds of bread available that it's hard to decide which one to buy. This time, I had rosemary focaccia and freshly baked cream bread. The cream bread is superb!! The cream is also filled with a gentle sweetness and is delicious!! And the dough is really great. I also recommend the pizza, curry bread, and donuts. If you're in Yokosuka, please be sure to stop by.

A mysterious island in Kanagawa that you can visit for a day trip♡ . [Sarushima🐒] . An uninhabited island in Yokosuka city, a place where you can experience beautiful sea and nature, a mysterious atmosphere, and an extraordinary experience (^^) You can go around the island in 1.2 hours and it's surprisingly easy to get there from Tokyo! ♡ You can also play in Yokosuka on your way back👍 #Kanagawa #Yokosuka #Sarushima #Mikasa Pier #Uninhabited Island #Mystery #Forest Bathing

#SummerWeekendTrip Even though it's in Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokosuka's Tatarahama has crystal clear waters! The white sand beach makes you feel like you're overseas! The sand is made of crushed seashells, so we recommend beach sandals! There's a beautiful beach in Kanagawa Prefecture that you can go to on a day trip from the city! There's a simple outdoor shower in the toilet next to the parking lot with the BBQ area, which is convenient! #BeachResort #OutingWithKids #Ocean #AmazingView #SwimmingInTheSea

[Access] 2-3 minutes walk from Shioiri Station on the Keikyu Line ~Convenient location for sightseeing, a symbol of the city~ Mercure Hotel Yokosuka is located right after you get off the station, so it's a perfect hotel for those who use the train for sightseeing. The hotel is tall like a tower, so it really stands out. The front desk is a stylish space with a white base. Even if your companion has to wait for you when you check in, the sofas are located far away, so you can keep your distance and feel safe. #SummerWeekendTrip

#EasternJapan Even during the summer tourist season, parking is cheap at this beach, and it's a hidden gem with only locals around. A little further on is Perry Park, which has toilets and is a great beach for families! My son was super excited to see the big ship entering the factory right in front of us. #AmazingView #OutingWithKids #Ocean #Swimming #BeachResort

#EastJapan We went to Verny Park, which is just a short walk from Yokosuka Station. You can see the ocean and feel relaxed with the European garden-style fountains and rose gardens! There's a cannon monument, typical of Yokosuka, and a submarine and fleet across the sea! The kids were excited to see the ships, which are rare. There was an area where you could play the piano, which was wonderful. There were young kids taking photos! #Breathtaking views #Couple trip #Park #Photogenic spot

#EasternJapan We went to Starbucks Coffee Course Bayside Stores! This Starbucks faces the sea and has a great location. You can see the sea from inside the store. The second floor has terrace seats and bench seats, so you can enjoy a leisurely view of the sea. The bench seats are often used by couples at night. #BreathtakingView #Gourmet #CoupleTrip #PhotogenicSpot #Starbucks #Instagrammable #Sea #starbuckscoffee

#EastJapan The Verny Memorial Museum is an experiential learning facility that conveys the achievements of François-Léonce Verny, who built the foundation for Japan's modernization as the head of the Yokosuka Ironworks. It is a free museum where you can learn about the history of the Yokosuka Ironworks. The two steam hammers that are the main exhibits were huge and impressive! There is also a corner where you can learn about the steam hammers of the time through the exhibits. It is a small museum, so it is recommended to stop by when you stop by Verny Park. #Yokosuka #Museum #Memorial #Free Spot

#QuintessaCampaign The Mikasa Memorial Ship, located in Mikasa Park in Yokosuka, is the sixth battleship ordered from the British Vickers Shipyard. It was completed in March 1902 and immediately sailed to Yokosuka. In December 1903, when Japan-Russia relations worsened and the country was on a war footing, it was incorporated into the Combined Fleet and became its flagship. It is a short walk from the station and is near the US military base. You can see the real warship in a quiet park. It takes about an hour to get a good look at it from inside.

The Ōfuna Kannon in the west of Ōfuna Station in Kamakura City is an eye-catching huge white statue of Kannon. Although there were instances where the construction of this statue had to be stopped due to WWII, it was completed in 1960 (Showa 35) and is now a symbol of Kamakura City Ōfuna Ward, gently protecting the many visitors who come to pray. Travel tip This modern temple is home to the Ofuna Kannon, a 25-meter statue of the Buddhist goddess of mercy, watching serenely over visitors. At the Yume Kannon Festival held in autumn each year, you can watch performances of music and dance from around Asia. Prepare yourself for breathtaking beauty as you crest the stairs in front of Ofuna Kannon Temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. You can access Ofuna Kannon Temple easily by foot, only five minutes from JR Ofuna Station’s west entrance. There is no parking lot available so, although the temple can be driven to, public transportation is recommended.
