Yokosuka-Chuo Station (横須賀中央駅)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is an in-town illumination that bathes the Yokosuka-Chuo Station square (under the Y-Deck) and Yokosuka-Chuo Main Street, the heart of downtown Yokosuka, in light. It typically runs for a long stretch, from early December through late March; last year it ran from December 1, 2025 to March 22, 2026. The schedule, lighting hours, and viewing fees for the 2026-27 season have not yet been announced, so please check the official website before heading out. Its appeal lies in being directly connected to the station, making it easy to stop by.

Season & hours

Tips

Since it's right in front of the station, you won't have trouble finding restaurants or restrooms, making it reassuring even with small children. It gets cold after sunset, so viewing in the early evening right after the lights come on is recommended.

Best time to visit

Early evening, right after the lights come on. The contrast between the city lights and the lingering blue in the sky is beautiful.
