Tour the Historic Battleship Mikasa (記念艦三笠) Up Close and Experience Japan's Modern History
About this spot
A park where the historic battleship Mikasa, which served as the flagship of the combined fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, is preserved and open to the public. The interior features exhibits that convey the conditions of that era, and from the deck you can enjoy panoramic views of Yokosuka Harbor. The spacious grounds include a lawn plaza and fountains, making it ideal for family walks. Learning about the harbor's history during the day—where fireworks will light up the night sky this evening—is an added joy of the journey.
