Sarushima, an uninhabited island, is about a 10-minute ferry ride from the Yokosuka terminal. This historical island features several remnants, such as old gun battery sites. I made the mistake of wearing sandals with slight heels on this day, but since there are quite a few mountain trails to climb, I recommend wearing comfortable sneakers.

You can explore the entire island in about an hour, so if you don't need detailed explanations, there's no need to join a tour!

Yokosuka, located on the Miura Peninsula, is famous for its exotic streetscapes. From the moment you step out of the station, you can feel the unique atmosphere of American culture, with English signs everywhere (for renting houses, selling cars), just like an American village. ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Recommended attractions: Mikasa Park (one of Japan's top 100 urban parks) Sarushima (the largest uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay) Dobu Itadori Shopping Street (exotic cultural fusion) ICHIGO (a food supermarket converted from a giant freezer warehouse) ⋯⋯⋯⋯ Buy an embroidered jacket here, taste navy curry and American hamburgers, and take a look at Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay. This is a must-see itinerary.

Historical Background The history of Sarushima dates back to the Edo period, when it was used as part of a defense facility. Many military relics, such as artillery batteries, ammunition depots, and tunnels, are still preserved on the island. These relics were built during the Meiji period in Japan to prevent foreign invasions, reflecting the historical style of that era. During World War II, Sarushima was also an important military stronghold, and it was not until after the war that it gradually transformed into a tourist attraction. Natural Landscape Sarushima not only has rich historical relics, but also charming natural landscapes. The island is densely covered with vegetation, and the natural scenery with distinct seasons attracts many tourists who love nature. In spring, the island is full of cherry blossoms, which is a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms; summer is the best season for hiking and picnics, and tourists can take a leisurely stroll on the island and enjoy the sea breeze. The red leaves in autumn and the clear sky in winter also have their own charms, giving Sarushima its unique style all year round. Transportation and Tourism Experience Sarushima can be reached by a short ferry ride from the center of Yokosuka. The ferry journey only takes about 10 minutes, which is very convenient. After arriving on the island, visitors can freely explore the various attractions on the island or relax on the beach. In addition, Sarushima also provides some entertainment activities, such as fishing and barbecue, which are suitable for the whole family to participate. It is worth noting that since there are no restaurants on the island, it is recommended that visitors bring their own food and drinks. #Register for September Hotel Test Sleeper
