Yokosuka Route Museum: A Journey Through History and Nature
The Yokosuka Route Museum is a unique experience where you can explore Yokosuka as if it were one large museum. It connects various historical, cultural, and natural sites around the city, which are referred to as “satellites,” through a “route.” By following this route, you can uncover Yokosuka’s rich history from the opening of the country to modern times, as well as its beautiful natural spots. Grab your personal map and set off on a journey to discover the lesser-known facets of Yokosuka!
