Exploring the 3rd Naval Fort Remnants in Yokosuka

#asiabudgetchallenge Exploring the 3rd Naval Fort Remnants in Yokosuka, a hidden gem nestled along the waterfront and surrounded by lush greenery. Dating back to the early 20th century, these forgotten gun emplacements and underground bunkers offer a compelling glimpse into Japan’s coastal defense history—without the crowds found at major tourist sites. The trip cost me roughly ¥3,000–¥4,000 total, including transportation (a short local train or bus ride from central Yokosuka), light snacks, and entrance (if any small fee applies during maintenance periods). I brought a bottle of water and a drink to keep it simple and budget‑friendly. My #1 travel tip: go early in the morning. You’ll enjoy softer light, cooler temperatures, and almost no other visitors, which makes exploring the dark tunnels and cliffside installations feel more atmospheric and peaceful. My best hack: download an offline map of the area and use the local hiking trail markers to plan a circular route that links the fort to nearby lookout points. It keeps you on track and avoids accidentally walking through private property or off‑limits zones.
