Verny park

#japantrip Have you been out to Verny park, right off base, next to the Coaska Mall? 🌹 Have you visited the Yokosuka Modern Heritage Museum Thibaudier Residence, or the Verny Commemorative Museum, both located in Verny Park? These two spots are worth a stop if you have interest in the history of Yokosuka and how this area was developed. Both museums are FREE and their displays are in Japanese AND English. 🇯🇵 The museum staff are very friendly and happy to answer questions. The Yokosuka Modern Heritage Museum is located right next to the Amalfi Blue restaurant and has a 15 minute movie that plays each hour for 200 yen per person, that gives a little insight into the westernization of Japan. This museum also holds a large map outlining many different important spots you can visit in and around Yokosuka. And cards you can keep, like paint swatches, on important landmarks. 👀 Recommend!

A Special Day in Yokosuka ~Naval Port Cruise, Spectacular Dinner, and Illuminated Western-Style Buildings~ Yokosuka is known as a port town, home to ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the U.S. Navy. From its unique atmosphere to the beautiful ocean views of the Miura Peninsula and the nighttime illuminations, we enjoyed the charms of a seaside town all in one day. ⸻ ⚓ Naval Port Cruise Our first experience was the "Yokosuka Naval Port Tour." Boarding a boat from the port, we enjoyed an impressive cruise offering up-close views of JMSDF and U.S. Navy ships. The sight of the massive escort ships and submarines moored was breathtaking. The guide's commentary allowed us to learn about the ships' roles and characteristics, and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere of the naval port, which is normally off-limits, from the water. 🚇 Access: Approximately a 5-minute walk from Shioiri Station on the Keikyu Line. ⸻ 🍷 Dinner Course at Restaurant "Amalfi" At dusk, we visited the popular restaurant "Amalfi," which offers a panoramic view of the Miura Peninsula. Dinner while watching the sun set over Sagami Bay is exceptional. • Appetizer: Marinated local Miura vegetables and fresh fish carpaccio • Pasta: Chef's recommended seasonal handmade pasta • Main: Grilled fresh fish caught in Sagami Bay or roast Miura beef • Dessert: Rich tiramisu and seasonal fruit This Italian meal, featuring generous portions of local ingredients, was a treat, not only in terms of flavor but also with the ocean view from the window. 🚇 Access: Take the bus from Zushi-Hayama Station on the Keikyu Line toward "Kaigan-mawari" and get off at "Kotsubo." It's a few minutes' walk. ⸻ 🌈 Rainbow illumination at Thibodé House After dinner, we visited the Western-style Thibodé House in Yokosuka. This mansion, once home to French engineer Thibodie during the late Edo period, has now been restored and is open to the public. At night, the entire building is lit up in rainbow colors, creating a mystical atmosphere. The white Western-style building is bathed in vibrant gradations, creating a new night view spot in the port city of Yokosuka. 🚇 Access: Approximately a 10-minute walk from Yokosuka-Chuo Station on the Keikyu Line. ⸻ Summary Experience the power of Yokosuka's ocean on a naval port cruise, enjoy a luxurious dinner at Amalfi Restaurant overlooking the sunset, and watch the historic Western-style building illuminated in rainbow colors at night. Yokosuka is a city perfect for a day trip, combining the best of sea, food, and history. #Yokosuka #YokosukaTrip #JapanTravel #MiuraPeninsula #OceanViewDining #RainbowLightUp #HistoricHouse #TripcomMoments #SummerCampaign
