What Kind of Place Is the Miura Peninsula?

Sandwiched between Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay, the Miura Peninsula offers both sea and mountains — a region with many different faces.

Yokosuka developed as a naval port city after the Black Ships arrived at the end of the Edo period. Battery and fortress ruins remain throughout the city, letting you experience the dawn of Japan’s modernization. With a US military base in the city, the blend of American shops, restaurants and diverse culture is part of its charm!

Zushi and Hayama, surrounded by beautiful beaches and mountains, are among the peninsula’s finest resort areas. The calm waves make them perfect for trying water sports for the first time. Palm trees and resort-style buildings create a picture-perfect landscape.

Around Miura and Misaki Port, where fishing thrives — led by the famous "Misaki tuna" — you’ll find plenty of restaurants serving superb seafood!

Must-See Spots on the Miura Peninsula

You can’t miss these! Introducing the top recommended spots in the Miura Peninsula area.

Sarushima Island (Yokosuka City)

The only natural island in Tokyo Bay and the largest uninhabited island in the bay. Once a fortress defending Tokyo Bay, its stacked brick fortifications, now overgrown with vines and moss, are breathtakingly fantastic! Fishing and BBQ are also available.

Mikasa Memorial Ship (Mikasa Park, Yokosuka City)

Historical monuments dot the park, including the memorial ship "Mikasa," which served in the Russo-Japanese War, and a statue of Admiral Togo Heihachiro. Inside the ship, period documents plus a wide range of maritime materials and models are on display.

Nagai Uminote Park Soleil no Oka (Yokosuka City)

An entertainment park spread over a cape overlooking Sagami Bay, Mt. Fuji and Shonan. After enjoying the large athletic course, zip line and Ferris wheel, you can even stay overnight at the campsite or cabins. The flower garden — sunflowers in summer, cosmos in autumn — is truly spectacular.

Jogashima Island (Miura City)

Jogashima, at the southern tip of the Miura Peninsula, has earned two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japon. The popular "Umanose Doumon" sea arch was carved by waves and wind, offering views of the vast Pacific through the opening. Beach plants and wild birds thrive on the island, and double-flowered daffodils peak from mid-January!

Chojagasaki (Hayama Town / Yokosuka City)

Chojagasaki sits at the southern end of Hayama Town and is selected among "Kanagawa’s Top 50 Scenic Spots." From the coast or the hilltop parking lot, you can take in the sky and sea — and on clear days, Enoshima, the Izu Peninsula and even Mt. Fuji. It’s also famous for beautiful sunsets.

Misaki Port (Miura City)

Misaki Port is one of Japan’s leading tuna bases, prospering as a calm natural harbor. The "Uraori Marché" sells tuna and local octopus from Sajima, and the "Misaki Fishery Wholesale Market" lets you watch tuna auctions — a true treasure trove of seafood. You can also enjoy an easy underwater stroll aboard the semi-submersible sightseeing boat "Nijiiro Sakana-go."

Perfect for Your First Water Sports!

Just about an hour from central Tokyo, the Miura Peninsula offers clear, calm waters — the ideal environment for trying water sports for the first time. SUP and sea kayaking, easy to start with one-day experiences, let beginners enjoy a relaxed paddle with careful instructor guidance. Rental shops are plentiful, so you can go light. Of course, you can also challenge yourself with serious diving or windsurfing! Choose the activity that fits your interest and level.

Elegant Time at Scenic Resorts

Resort hotels line the Miura coast, where you can spend elegant time in luxurious spaces reminiscent of overseas resorts.

Beyond "Riviera Zushi Marina," one of Japan’s leading marina resorts with tropical vibes and marine activities, you’ll find glamping facilities with stunning views of Mt. Fuji over the sea and beautiful sunsets. Why not enjoy BBQ, sauna and other out-of-the-ordinary experiences in the best locations?

For an elegant time, the "Yokosuka Museum of Art" facing Tokyo Bay is also recommended. Its stylish building harmonizes with the surrounding nature, and the open interior houses about 5,000 works of modern and contemporary Japanese art. Enjoy quality time with the sea breeze and art.

Cruising the Naval Port

Yokosuka, which developed as a naval port from the Meiji era, is recognized as a Japan Heritage site, letting you experience its dynamic march toward modernization.

On the "YOKOSUKA Naval Port Cruise," you can view powerful warships from the sea with detailed narration by a guide. Feel the naval port city up close and enjoy an experience found nowhere else.

For classic naval port scenery, don’t miss "Verny Park," within walking distance of Keikyu Shioiri Station or JR Yokosuka Station. Overlooking the US Navy base and the JMSDF Regional Headquarters, the park features French-style flower beds, fountains and about 1,300 roses in an elegant atmosphere.

For shopping, head to "Dobuita Street," a shopping street full of American flair. The famous stores of sukajan (souvenir jackets), born in Yokosuka, are also popular.

Must-Eat! Gourmet & Signature Souvenirs

You’ll definitely come back for more! Here are the signature gourmet foods of the Miura Peninsula area. Don’t miss the cute sweets that make wonderful souvenirs.

Yokosuka Navy Curry

Born from the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Meiji-era recipe, this curry is said to be the root of Japanese curry. In the curry town of Yokosuka, it’s the serving rule to always accompany curry with salad and milk for nutritional balance!

Yokosuka Navy Burger

A local gourmet born from a recipe provided by the US Navy base in Yokosuka. Simply seasoned to preserve the beef’s natural flavor, the juicy meat tastes like a steak between buns. An authentic American-style burger unique to Yokosuka.

Yokosuka Cherry Cheesecake

A New York-style cheesecake with rich, creamy flavor and a fragrant graham cracker crust. Baked slowly at low temperature like steaming, topped with refreshing cherries. The subtle tartness pairs perfectly with the cheese!

Misaki Tuna

Misaki Port is one of Japan’s leading tuna landing bases. Beyond the classic tuna donburi, enjoy fresh, hearty set meals, ramen with soup stock made from tuna heads, and "Toroman" tuna buns — a creative array of tuna dishes awaits.

Misaki Donuts

A donut shop born in Misaki, Miura City. Their fluffy handmade donuts make the most of seasonal fruits and quality ingredients. From simple cookie-style bases to donuts kneaded with ingredients, they’re cute to look at and rich in variety!

MARLOWE Handmade Baked Pudding

MARLOWE specializes in handmade baked pudding served in beakers. Firmly baked with the power of eggs, it has a satisfying chew. Loved across generations for years, each pudding is carefully handmade from selected ingredients — and the wide variety is their pride.

Misaki Maguro Kippu (Keikyu)

A great-value ticket sold by Keikyu Railway for exploring the Miura Peninsula. It includes round-trip tickets with stopovers, free Keikyu bus rides, plus the "Tuna Full Stomach Ticket" for delicious seafood and the "Miura/Misaki Memories Ticket" for tourist facilities and cafés.
