Verny Park

#thingstodo Highlight of my visit to Yokosuka. Probably one of the few places in Yokosuka that have such an open and direct view of the ships docked at the port and also open to the public. On one side you can see the JMDF HQ and their vessels, while on the other side you can see the US naval base and their vessels. Cool place to walk through or sit down and just enjoy the view. Also conveniently located right next to JR Yokosuka station.

A Special Day in Yokosuka ~Naval Port Cruise, Spectacular Dinner, and Illuminated Western-Style Buildings~ Yokosuka is known as a port town, home to ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the U.S. Navy. From its unique atmosphere to the beautiful ocean views of the Miura Peninsula and the nighttime illuminations, we enjoyed the charms of a seaside town all in one day. ⸻ ⚓ Naval Port Cruise Our first experience was the "Yokosuka Naval Port Tour." Boarding a boat from the port, we enjoyed an impressive cruise offering up-close views of JMSDF and U.S. Navy ships. The sight of the massive escort ships and submarines moored was breathtaking. The guide's commentary allowed us to learn about the ships' roles and characteristics, and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere of the naval port, which is normally off-limits, from the water. 🚇 Access: Approximately a 5-minute walk from Shioiri Station on the Keikyu Line. ⸻ 🍷 Dinner Course at Restaurant "Amalfi" At dusk, we visited the popular restaurant "Amalfi," which offers a panoramic view of the Miura Peninsula. Dinner while watching the sun set over Sagami Bay is exceptional. • Appetizer: Marinated local Miura vegetables and fresh fish carpaccio • Pasta: Chef's recommended seasonal handmade pasta • Main: Grilled fresh fish caught in Sagami Bay or roast Miura beef • Dessert: Rich tiramisu and seasonal fruit This Italian meal, featuring generous portions of local ingredients, was a treat, not only in terms of flavor but also with the ocean view from the window. 🚇 Access: Take the bus from Zushi-Hayama Station on the Keikyu Line toward "Kaigan-mawari" and get off at "Kotsubo." It's a few minutes' walk. ⸻ 🌈 Rainbow illumination at Thibodé House After dinner, we visited the Western-style Thibodé House in Yokosuka. This mansion, once home to French engineer Thibodie during the late Edo period, has now been restored and is open to the public. At night, the entire building is lit up in rainbow colors, creating a mystical atmosphere. The white Western-style building is bathed in vibrant gradations, creating a new night view spot in the port city of Yokosuka. 🚇 Access: Approximately a 10-minute walk from Yokosuka-Chuo Station on the Keikyu Line. ⸻ Summary Experience the power of Yokosuka's ocean on a naval port cruise, enjoy a luxurious dinner at Amalfi Restaurant overlooking the sunset, and watch the historic Western-style building illuminated in rainbow colors at night. Yokosuka is a city perfect for a day trip, combining the best of sea, food, and history. #Yokosuka #YokosukaTrip #JapanTravel #MiuraPeninsula #OceanViewDining #RainbowLightUp #HistoricHouse #TripcomMoments #SummerCampaign
