The Chiyogasaki Gun Battery was a western-style gun battery established by the Imperial Japanese Army.
It was built upon a battery located on Mt. Hiraneyama that was constructed by the Aizu Domain during the late Edo period.
Due to the excellent preservation of its original structure and significance in understanding the modernization of the Japanese military and fortification techniques, the Chiyogasaki Gun Battery, along with the Sarushima Gun Battery, were designated as National Historic Sites and Japan Heritage Cultural Properties.
This site is a satellite spot for the Yokosuka Route Museum, a unique way to experience the entire city as a “museum” with “routes” that connects together the history, culture, and natural environment of Yokosuka.
