Kannonzaki Park

Kannonzaki Park extends across 70.4 hectares at the northeastern tip of Miura Peninsula, featuring coastal promenades and hill paths along the Uraga Channel.

The location served as a military sea fortress protecting Tokyo Bay until its transformation into a public park, which opened on April 1, 1975.

The Yokosuka Museum of Art and Kannonzaki Nature Museum within the park grounds present exhibitions focusing on contemporary art and local ecosystems.

Visitors can reach the park via buses departing from Uraga Station, Maborikaigan Station, or JR Yokosuka Station, with free entrance and year-round access.

The park includes Japan's first Western-style lighthouse, alongside military gun battery remains and an Athletic Forest with climbing walls for children.
