The Kurihama Flower Park is a sprawling venue which is home to a wide array of floral beauty throughout the seasons, including poppies and nemophila during spring, and cosmos in autumn. A fun way to explore the blooms is via the park's Flower Train, which has a small fee to ride.
It's not just flowers you'll find here, though – another star attraction at the park is the giant Godzilla statue by the playground area, which makes for a fun photo opportunity!
The on-site Los Marines restaurant sits on a hill overlooking the Uraga Channel, and serves up dishes like their Godzilla curry, pizza, pasta, and desserts. Kids meal options are also available if you're visiting with little ones in tow.

Located at the Miura Peninsula’s easternmost point, Cape Kannon (Kannonzaki) is known for its rocky coastline and scenic views overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Sitting at the edge of the cape is the Kannonzaki Lighthouse, which was originally built in 1869 and holds the title of Japan’s first lighthouse. The cape is a beautiful destination for nature lovers, with a wide variety of flora to appreciate. The region is particularly revered for its early summertime hydrangeas which bloom in shades of purple, blue, pink, and white.
Nestled within the serene embrace of Kannonzaki Park, overlooking the vast expanse of Tokyo Bay, lies the Yokosuka Museum of Art in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. The museum was established in 2007 to mark the 100th celebration of the city's municipalization. It offers a diverse collection of over 5,000 artworks, the museum showcases masterpieces by renowned artists such as Fujishima Takeji and Nakamura Tsune, showcasing Japan's rich artistic heritage. Visitors are also invited to explore historic landmarks like the nearby lighthouse or the remnants of ancient battery ruins, immersing themselves in a harmonious blend of nature, history, and art. With its tranquil ambiance and wealth of cultural treasures, the Yokosuka Museum of Art promises an enriching art experience.
Literally translating to Monkey Island, Sarushima is accessible via a short 10 minute ferry ride from Mikasa Pier. There are numerous ways to enjoy the island, whether it's taking a guided tour, appreciating nature, relaxing on the beach, or engaging in a spot of fishing – the waters surrounding Sarushima are renowned for being crystal clear. The island is uninhabited, but there is a restaurant called Ocean's Kitchen where you can grab a bite to eat. The menu offerings include things like Yokosuka navy curry, teriyaki chicken, ramen, and potato wedges. For the sweet-tooths, try the Sarushima pudding which is made with locally-sourced milk and eggs. Do note that ferry departure times differ from the summer schedule (set from March 1 until October 31) compared to the winter schedule (November 1 until February 28).
