Yokosuka

Dad was stationed here for 10 long years & my youngest brother & husband was born there. We’d love to go back someday. Yokosuka’s definitely worth a visit, as long as you’re not afraid to try anything.

I was in Yokosuka from 1986-1988 in the US Navy, serving aboard the USS Cochrane (DDG-21). Didn’t care much for Japan.

I was born and raised in Yokosuka for 11 years. I hope to visit again someday :] I miss it so much!

Father was stationed on the USS Blueridge based at the Yokosuka Naval Base. A fantastic country to visit! Graduated from Kinnick High School in 1992. If you ever lived in Yokosuka or attended Kinnick High, give me a shout!

I lived just to the north within Yokohama city limits and worked in Yokosuka (not on the base). The JR Yokosuka station dumps you off in the middle of nowhere. If you want to go to Yokosuka, take the Keikyu line, and keep going south to the end of the line, then take the bus to the sea side park, or get off at Kurihama and take a look at the fist place Com. Perry landed on the quest to open Japan for trade. The main part of Yokosuka is dominated by the nearby US Navy base, and is kind of sleazy.

I’m currently stationed here, with the Navy, for the next two years. It’s not much really, but an alright place if you’re new to Japan. Just avoid the Honch!

I am here right now on a project working with the US Navy. Yokosuka is a city built around the Navy base here so you’ll find the usual string of sleezy bars and massage parlors. It’s much nicer in Yokohama or Tokyo.

My dad is retired from the Navy. Needless to say, we moved around a lot. One of the many places I’ve been to is Yokosuka, Japan. I lived on & off base and it was the most amazing 8 years of my life. Not only was Japan an amazing country for its culture, food, people, & everything else, but I meet some wonderful friends for life and made the best memories. Japan is totally worth visiting more than once in your life.
