Yokosuka
Yokosuka is an exotic area that prospered as a military port city with ships from the navy and maritime self-defense force. It became the site of the arrival of the Black Ships during the end of the Edo period. There are also tourist spots blessed with nature, such as the unmanned island "Sarushima" floating in Tokyo Bay. It is a popular spot for swimming and BBQ in the summer, and is a place that stimulates your sense of adventure as wartime air-raid shelters still remain.
