Update: Includes pictures from the Norimono festival on 6/9/18 - 6/10/18. The best thing about Verney Park is that it is a beautiful waterside park that is well maintained and kept clean. Verney Park is located near Yokosuka station (JR line) along the waterfront. It is within walking distance (4 minutes) from Shiori station (Keikyu line). The biggest perk of Verney Park is that it offers a beautiful view of the Japanese naval base along with a view of the American naval base. This is a big deal for all the people who love naval ships. Aeon (formally Daiei Mall ) which is right next to Verney Park, has a shop where you can buy tickets to take a boat tour of both the Japanese and American naval bases. Verney Park is host to various events throughout the year. May brings the Rose Festival. June and maybe August brings the Norimono Festival (festival in which kids can ride different vehicles) along with open day for the Japanese naval base. December 31 brings the food festival before the New Year fireworks.

Pretty much the only easily accessible area to see the ships around here Walking to the any of the bases is useless because they won’t let you in anyways Beautiful park with a lot of flowers right along the water can be windy at times so hold onto your hat Washroom and smoking area with drink vending machines near entrance with a map of the park and it’s points of interest A Main gun of the Battle Ship Mutsu is on display here Also a Starbucks at the end with the mall overlooking the pier

Highlight of my visit to Yokosuka. Probably one of the few places in Yokosuka that have such an open and direct view of the ships docked at the port and also open to the public. On one side you can see the JMDF HQ and their vessels, while on the other side you can see the US naval base and their vessels. Cool place to walk through or sit down and just enjoy the view. Also conveniently located right next to JR Yokosuka station.
