About: Yokosuka Winter Illumination

The unique scenery of Yokosuka and the night view of Verny Park will be adorned with illumination featuring a champagne gold theme. Illuminations are also set up around the park’s vicinity, including the adjacent Coasca Bayside Stores and Shioiri Station, creating a collaborative display with illuminated facilities like Thibaudier Mansion. This turns the entire Shioiri area into a vibrant new illumination spot in Yokosuka.
