This is the fourth in a series of “Yokosuka Route Museum”

This is the fourth in a series of Yokosuka Route Museum events that take visitors to discover the history, culture, and nature in Yokosuka.

This time, we will visit the west coast area. 

The tour will take in temples associated with the Miura clan, include a walk along the scenic coastline and a view of Akiya-no-tateishi, one of Kanagawa’s 50 most scenic spots.

What is Yokosuka Route Museum ?

What is this Yokosuka Route Museum

A “museum” with “routes” connecting together the history, culture, and natural environment of Yokosuka.

The Yokosuka Route Museum is connected together by “routes” leading between places to enjoy Yokosuka’s abundant nature and notable historical and cultural sites scattered around this city.

The whole city is thus construed as a new sort of a “museum” that connects abundant nature with the interesting culture and history of Yokosuka from the time when Japan opened up to the world and entered modernity.
