It is one of the City's life-lines, and is always busy with a rush of cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, traffic heading to & from Yokohama, Kawasaki, Tokyo, and other places north of the Miura Peninsula.
At an intersection just a few minutes south of Yokosuka Navy base, a remarkable 4-lane road branches off to run along Tokyo Bay.
It is wider than older Japanese streets, and is picturesque, lined with palm trees ... almost has a California or Florida feel to it.
Called "Yokosuka Kaigan Dori" (Yokosuka Seashore Boulevard) 横須賀海岸道り .... it is lined with pedestrian & bicycle-friendly sidewalks, and is host to several big-box stores (AVE, LIVIN, HOMES, NOJIMA, etc. -- all with lots of parking), as well as some large & mysterious "art objects" .... and more to follow on that in future blog entries...
