Originally opened in 1946 and revamped in 2001, Verny Park (ヴェルニー公園) is a French styled garden overlooking Kanagawa’s Yokosuka Port. The park is named after Léonce Verny, a French naval engineer who led the construction of multiple naval facilities in the area in the late 1800s, including Yokosuka Naval Arsenal. Verny made great contributions to Japan’s modernization with his leadership, engineering, and educational skills.

Dobuita Shopping Street

Dobuita Shopping Street

Dobuita Shopping Street stretches all the way from Shioiri Station to the Yokosuka Naval Base, and it uniquely fuses both Japanese and American culture. Along the street there are a variety of retail stores, including everything from portrait shops to military-style stores and plenty of bars and eateries. Some establishments along Dobuita Street even accept payment in US dollars! A couple of the popular dining options popular along Dobuita Street include Yokosuka navy curry and Yokosuka navy burgers, with many restaurants offering them on their menus. As the name suggests, both of these foods were inspired by the military presence in the area, and they’re well worth trying – be sure to come hungry! If you’re looking for an iconic souvenir while you’re visiting this part of Yokosuka, keep your eyes peeled for stores selling Sukajan jackets. The beautiful embroidery on the jackets makes for a truly unique memento from your time here.
