Yokosuka Hotel Reviews
My story - appreciation of the Japanese Travel Bureau and Agency: My son and I took a tour of Mount Fuji via the Japanese Travel Agency. The tour guide (Harry) was especially delightful. His wit kept us entertained. We appreciated, above all else, that he made sure we bought the correct train tickets for our return trip from Tokyo to Yokosuka, and that we had platform numbers for our trains. <br> <br> Also I would like to share a tale of appreciation to a fellow traveler. When I first arrived in Japan from the U.S., I asked a young man (Robert) who had flown with me to help me buy the right train ticket from Tokyo-Narita to Yokosuka. Robert not only did that but also he accompanied me from Tokyo-Narita to Shingawa, where he put me on the right train for Yokosuka. Having arrived in Japan at approximately 4:30, I was eager to find and check into Hotel Yokosuka. Because of Robert(from U.S. but lives in Tokyo) who helped me, I was able to move smoothly from the airport and from one train to the other with no problem. By 8:00 I had checked into Hotel Yokosuka. I shall forever be grateful to Robert for making my arrival into Japan a smooth, easy one. Japan''s train system is incredibly wonderful (I learned), but when you first arrive (very tired) --- it is quite intimidating to small-town folks, who do not know train systems. I was in a number of countries during the past year, and I found that the Japanese people were among the most willing to help me, when I asked them to do so. Japan is a joy to visit.
The sushi is great. Two restaurants within 5 minute walk.
Hotel is located with walking distance to Yokosuka Naval Base so very convienent.
The Moore City mall has some excellent resturants on the 9 floor.
The hotel had helpful info on the local trains to Narita Airport and the hotel shuttle would take you to the train station after making the morning Naval Base runs (after 10:00 a.m.).
This trip was more work than play. However, the train ride from Yokosuka to Narita was very enjoyable. I used first class (green car) for my trip. Thanks to the help of some other passengers, I was directed to the correct train, and car. Their English was much much better than my Japanese. I thank them again for their assistance.
Kamakura, ancient capital, and Hachimangu shrine well worth seeing; Daibutsu Buddha (Great Buddha) outside of Kamakura good tourist sight; round trip travel (bus/train) cost about $8.00 and about 1 hr 30 min total travel time.
Local area is very clean. Employees in various stores/restaurants very friendly and professional, and are immediately ready to help patrons; fast, efficient service. Taxis' and their drivers' are immaculate; a little pricey, just like in the states. Found Japan economy, for the most part, to be more expensive than stateside.
