The U.S. Navy (over 20,000 personnel) has been operating from Yokosuka for over 70 years .... American influence can be seen (felt) in the Dobuita (Honch) shopping & entertainment district located downtown, just outside the main gate to the Navy base...
The other, noticeable, evidence of U.S. presence in Yokosuka are the high-rise housing buildings which have been built in the downtown area.
A prototypical example is Liberty Cove House .... a huge apartment building which was erected right next to JR Yokosuka Station....
