Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yokosuka combines harbor scenery with industrial and naval history. Begin along Verny Park’s waterfront, planning transport separately for Mikasa Park.

This guide covers places within Yokosuka, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

A dish example photographed in 2010; not a restaurant endorsement or a guarantee of current menus or prices.

Yokosuka navy curry is a promoted local food. Curry-and-rice servings vary by shop; check spice, ingredients and availability rather than assuming a historical photo shows today’s menu.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
