Gaze at Warships Moored in the Naval Harbor Beyond the Rose Garden
About this spot
A waterfront park overlooking Yokosuka Harbor where you can enjoy uniquely Yokosuka vistas—colorful roses blooming in the gardens with warships moored in the naval port beyond. The park also features a memorial hall commemorating French engineer Verny's contributions, allowing you to explore the history of modern shipbuilding that supported Japan's modernization. Spend the afternoon before the fireworks in a relaxed atmosphere, watching ships navigate the harbor.

大規模な花火大会のため、会場周辺は大変混雑します。荒天時は中止となる場合があるので、当日は横須賀市の公式発表で確認を。終了後は駅までの道が大変混み合うため、しばらく余韻を楽しんでからの分散帰宅がおすすめです。
