About this experience
Let's take a walk in the Yokosuka area, where the Mikasa, one of the world's three most famous memorial ships, is preserved! Mikasa fought valiantly as the flagship of the Allied Fleet led by Commander-in-Chief Heihachiro Togo during the Battle of the Sea of Japan, contributing to the historic victory. The battleship Mikasa is kept in Mikasa Park, where visitors can see a statue of Heihachiro Togo and other spots that symbolize the era. Walking around this area, which has a unique atmosphere of both Japan and the United States as a town of the U.S. military stationed in Yokosuka after World War II, will surely be a memorable part of your trip. It is also possible, in consultation with a guide, to visit places outside the Yokosuka area that are associated with warships. The tours are very satisfying for warship enthusiasts and veterans.

Memorial Ship MIKASA
The warship Mikasa is a historic battleship that was originally built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was launched in 1900 and is best known for its role in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, where it played a significant part in the Battle of Tsushima. This battle was a decisive naval engagement that established Japan as a major naval power. The Mikasa is a pre-dreadnought battleship, meaning it was built before the advent of the more modern dreadnought battleships that revolutionized naval warfare in the early 20th century. Despite being somewhat outdated by the time of World War I, it remained an important symbol of Japanese naval strength. After its military service, Mikasa was preserved as a museum ship and is now located in Yokosuka, Japan. It serves as a monument to Japanese naval history and is open to the public for tours. Its preservation is a testament to its historical significance and the role it played in shaping naval history.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yokosuka military port and navy related sites with a local guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
