Experience of the stay
The travel plan begins with finding a place to stay that can be booked via HafH! The Mercure Hotel Yokosuka was available, so I searched for nearby attractions and found the Yokosuka Museum of Art to be lovely, so I booked the hotel.
The hotel was right in front of Shioiri Station, and there were convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making it very convenient.
What delighted me about the hotel was that POLA cleansing oil, face wash, lotion, and emulsion were provided in bottles! I could use them generously, so my travel set didn't even need to come out.
Additionally, there were plenty of free drinks available, such as water, cola, orange juice, and coffee.
The bathroom space was spacious, and there were bathrobes available. It was nice to have not just a hairdryer but even a hair straightener!
I would like to use this hotel again when I come back to the area!
Experiences during the trip
Before checking in, I headed to the Yokosuka Museum of Art. I took a bus from Uraga Station to Kanonzaki and walked about 5 minutes to the museum while enjoying the sea views. It was my first time visiting a seaside museum, and it was a wonderful place that offered more than just exhibits. The spacious green of the entrance was beautiful, but I highly recommend the view of the sea from the roof.
I enjoyed lasagna at the restaurant of Chef Yoshimi Hidaka, who is famous for his Italian cuisine. The exhibition of paintings by Rokuro Taniuchi, featured on the cover of Weekly Shincho, was warm and impressive, and photography was permitted.
The next day, after checking out, I visited Mikasa Park and Dobuita Street. When I searched for either Navy curry or Navy burger, as you do when you come to Yokosuka, I ended up eating the original Yokosuka Navy Curry at 'Gyorantei' near Yokosuka-Chuo Station. I had previously heard that Navy curry is like traditional homemade curry, and it truly was delicious! The inclusion of milk was a fun touch. I want to eat it again.
Since there is a U.S. Navy base in Yokosuka, I noticed many Americans around.
