- From November to February, the last boat back from Sarushima is at 16:00, and Memorial Ship Mikasa entry closes at 16:00.

This page is for people with no plans and no reservations. Follow the order below and you have a full day in either Yokosuka or Miura-Misaki, both in Kanagawa.
In Yokosuka, the day takes shape around the times of the naval port cruise boat (hourly from 10:00 to 16:00) and the boat to Sarushima Island (the last one in winter is at 15:30). The Miura-Misaki day covers Jogashima Island and Misaki Port by Keikyu bus. From November to February the last boat back from Sarushima is at 16:00 and entry to the Memorial Ship Mikasa closes at 16:00, so the key to the Yokosuka plan is to settle both boats by lunchtime.
In short
- For boats and a harbor town in one day: Plan A, Yokosuka (naval port cruise at 10:00, Sarushima at 12:30, then the Memorial Ship Mikasa).
- For sea views and the tuna town: Plan B, Miura-Misaki (Jogashima, then Misaki Port).
- Plan A can be done on foot from Shioiri Station or Yokosuka-Chuo Station on the Keikyu line. Plan B uses the bus from Misakiguchi Station on the Keikyu line.

2. Things to know in Yokosuka and Miura: boat times, daily fees and parking
Both Yokosuka boats change their fares by day, and the naval port cruise is crowded on weekends and holidays, so a reservation is recommended.
- The naval port cruise and the Sarushima boat are run by the same company (Triangle) but leave from different piers. The naval port cruise leaves from Shioiri Terminal (2nd floor of Coaska Bayside Stores), and the Sarushima boat leaves from Mikasa Terminal next to Mikasa Park.
- Fares are set per day on the official fare calendar. An adult naval port cruise is ¥2,000, ¥2,200 or ¥2,500, and an adult Sarushima trip (round-trip boat fare plus park admission) is ¥2,100, ¥2,300 or ¥2,500. Yokosuka residents get a discount.
- By car, Mikasa Terminal for Sarushima has no parking of its own, so you use coin parking nearby. On Jogashima, if you pay ¥500 for a standard car for the day at any of the 6 public lots on the island, you can also enter the other public lots on the island that day (the Jogashima Parking One-Day Pass).
3. Plan A: the naval port cruise, Sarushima and the Memorial Ship Mikasa in Yokosuka
YOKOSUKA Naval Port Cruise
This boat circles Yokosuka Port in about 45 minutes and leaves Shioiri Terminal at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00 (scheduled service every day except maintenance periods; the 10:00 and 16:00 departures run only on set days, shown on the calendar of the booking page. On a day with no 10:00 departure, start Plan A with the 11:00 boat). Because weekends and holidays are crowded, the official site recommends booking in advance. On fine days, about 50 to 100 tickets for the day go on sale in the morning at Shioiri Terminal (YOKOSUKA Naval Port Cruise schedule and fares page, Japanese).
The fare is ¥2,000 to ¥2,500 for adults and ¥1,000 to ¥1,250 for elementary school children, and 1 child under elementary school age per adult rides free. The pier is about 5 minutes on foot from Shioiri Station on the Keikyu line and about 15 minutes on foot from JR Yokosuka Station. If you drive, you get a parking ticket for Coaska Bayside Stores depending on how much you buy at Shioiri Terminal.
