Umibe Fishing Park

Umibe Fishing Park is a public waterfront space in Yokosuka with fishing platforms and green areas directly along the shore. The site offers views of Sarushima Island and the far shore, plus areas for families to rest and children to play.

The park was founded in 1992 as part of a program to create public spaces for maritime activities and community use in Yokosuka. This reflected an effort to open the port and waterfront to public access.

The place draws both locals and visitors who gather to fish and watch the bay together. This blend of fishing activity and leisure use shapes the everyday character of the space.

The site is easy to reach and offers parking as well as paths for fishing and walking. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the light is pleasant and fewer people are around.

Traditional Japanese fishing methods meet modern leisure expectations here, as experts share their knowledge with those interested in learning. This mix of inherited skills and everyday recreational use makes the place distinctive.
