See & Do
横須賀市自然・人文博物館
This museum houses around 150,000 different materials with exhibits that document the natural environment and history local to the Miura Peninsula.
ヴェルニー公園
In the park, you can see not only about 1,400 roses, French flowerbeds, and fountains, but also submarines and navy ships at close range, and these combinations are photogenic and popular.
走水水源地
Both the brick and concrete portions of this reservoir have been nationally registered as Tangible Cultural Property and as cultural properties composing Japan Heritage, and they are still in use.
三笠公園
The park's theme is based on "water, light, and sound", and it features whirling fountains and dynamic wall fountains paired with music, as well as monuments that are 18 meters in height, all of which showcase both history and the arts.
世界三大記念艦「三笠」
It is the world’s oldest steel battleship in existence, and has been certified as a constituent cultural asset of Japan Heritage.
猿島
Sarushima Island is an uninhabited island, and the only natural island in Tokyo Bay.
It takes about 10 minutes by ferryboat from Mikasa Pier, which is adjacent to Mikasa Park, to go to this popular tourist spot.
第二海堡
No.2 SEA FORT (“No.2 Kaiho”) is one of the three man-made fort islands in Tokyo Bay that were built from the Meiji period (1868-1912) to the Taisho period (1912-1926).
走水低砲台跡
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.
ペリー記念館
The Perry Commemorative Museum exhibits written sources of historical information, scale models, and other items related to the arrival of U.S. Navy commander Matthew Calbraith Perry in Japan in the 19th century.
