The Area

The Yokosuka Prince is located in the Kanagawa prefecture on the coast of the Miura Peninsula - a working playland of fishing ports, yacht harbors, stone beaches and rolling green hills.

Nearby Kamakura, the capital of Japan until 1333, is still the must-see home of the historic Great Buddha, 65 temples and 19 shrines. Between Tokyo and Kamakura is Yokohama, the busiest port in the land with premier shopping and a flourishing Chinatown.

This area represents an almost perfect sampler of the "Japan experience" - from geography to philosophy - for any first-time visitor.
