The Art museum focuses on contemporary art in Japan. This includes artists of new and old. Allow about two hours to see everything that the museum offers. Wear walking shoes because the art work is displayed in several buildings. The harbor is directly across from the museum. A small restaurant at the museum allows one to enjoy a cup of tea while viewing the harbor. If you are coming from downtown, take bus number 24. It gets you very close to the museum.

Japan being exposed by the aggression of Russia, the whole nation fought to the end of Japanese-Russo War. as one man. While making large sacrifices, Japan could barely attain the victory. Under the national trust, Public Utility Foundation, MIKASA Preservation Society keeps properly the preserved One of Three World-Renowned Historic Memorial Warships, MIKASA as a symbol of nation's pride that attained the victory in the Japanese-Russo War and defended national independence.

The highlight of my visit to Yokosuka - an informative and lovingly maintained icon of Japanese naval history. Staff were knowledgable and passionate and spoke good English. Highlight was the exhibit below deck dedicated to the Battle of Tsushima. Naval history enthusiast or not, I thoroughly recommend spending a few hours on board this magnificent and unique ship.

The Kurihama - Kanaya Ferry across the entrance to Tokyo Bay is a fun round-trip and a bargain for pedestrians. (Tokyo Wan-Ferry Kurihama Port). The boarding and dis-embarking process is easy and staff very helpful for non-Japanese-speaking tourists. Huge car-ferrying vessels go back and forth pretty much all of daylight. About a 45-minute one-way trip from Kurihama to the Chiba Prefecture. About 1,450 yen each adult round trip. Their web site has a good English translation. Fascinating to watch how the Ferry boat crew expertly dock the craft in tight quarters and get all the cars and passengers off and on the ship in timely, efficient fashion. Several very nice restaurants and attractions in Kanaya. We did not ferry a car across, so cannot speak to that experience but the pedestrian experience was so enjoyable, we did it twice in a week. Highly recommend it!
