Hashirimizu Lower Gun Battery Site 走水低砲台跡

Hashirimizu Lower Gun Battery Site

The "Hashirimizu Lower Gun Battery Site" was completed during the Meiji era and stayed operational until the end of the war, so almost all of its artifacts such as gun platforms, ammunition depot, and barracks have been maintained in a good condition.
As it sits atop a low hill, the walking route is the perfect place to get a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay and watch the ships come and go along the Uraga Channel.
