This scenic cafe was opened in 1984 and sits on one of the most beautiful seaside spots in the area. And the location isn't the only thing that's a delight; Marlowe's food uses fish caught fresh from Okusu Port and vegetables from Miura. For an extra-delicious treat, try their pudding!

Located at Mikasa Park, the Memorial Ship Mikasa is a warship that holds a significant place in Japan’s maritime history. Built in the late 1890s and officially commissioned from 1902 to 1923, the Mikasa served as the flagship of the Japanese fleet during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905. After the Mikasa was decommissioned, it was preserved as a memorial ship from 1926 onwards. Significant restorations were undertaken in the early 1960s, and the open to the public ship is seen as a point of national pride.
Mikasa Park is a destination that appeals to both nature lovers and history buffs, and it has been selected on both the 100 Best City Parks in Japan and 100 Best Historical Parks in Japan lists. One of the major drawcards to the park is the impressive display of the Mikasa battleship, which was built in the late 1890s and played an instrumental role in the Russo-Japanese War from 1904 to 1905. Sarushima (Monkey Island) is a popular local day trip destination that can also be seen from the park.
Dobuita Shopping Street stretches all the way from Shioiri Station to the Yokosuka Naval Base, and it uniquely fuses both Japanese and American culture. Along the street there are a variety of retail stores, including everything from portrait shops to military-style stores and plenty of bars and eateries. Some establishments along Dobuita Street even accept payment in US dollars! A couple of the popular dining options popular along Dobuita Street include Yokosuka navy curry and Yokosuka navy burgers, with many restaurants offering them on their menus. As the name suggests, both of these foods were inspired by the military presence in the area, and they’re well worth trying – be sure to come hungry! If you’re looking for an iconic souvenir while you’re visiting this part of Yokosuka, keep your eyes peeled for stores selling Sukajan jackets. The beautiful embroidery on the jackets makes for a truly unique memento from your time here.
