About JGSDF Camp Takeyama: A Unique Defense Hub in Kanagawa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Takeyama Sub Base, located in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is the only Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) base in the prefecture. Uniquely, it is situated in an area where units from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) are also present, making it one of the few locations in Japan where all three branches of the Self-Defense Forces coexist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
