Yokosuka, Naval base city in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Yokosuka extends across the Miura Peninsula between Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay, featuring coastal areas, naval facilities, and industrial districts.

The Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, established in the late 19th century, marked the beginning of Japan's first modern naval base and industrial development.

The Dobuita Street district contains numerous shops selling naval-themed items, American-style restaurants, and traditional Japanese establishments.

The city connects to Tokyo through the JR Yokosuka Line and Keikyu Line, with trains departing every few minutes during peak hours.

The battleship Mikasa, now a museum ship at Mikasa Park, represents the only surviving pre-dreadnought battleship in the world.
