JR Yokosuka Station

During the latter half of 2022, as things finally started to normalize again following the COVID-19 pandemic, more public events and festivals have been occurring in Yokosuka City.

One such event, the "YY Nori-mono Festa", was held in areas around JR Yokosuka Station on 03-04 December.

The first one was held in 2009 as part of an event to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the establishment of JR Yokosuka Station... 

 

  "The Yokosuka Line opened between Ofuna and Yokosuka in 1889 and was sung in the 'railroad songs' of the Meiji era.  The line was positioned as an important route connecting the capital and military ports and was extended to Kurihama at the request of the Navy in 1944.  The Yokosuka station building was reconstructed to its present form in 1940, but it is known as a station building without stairs, and some of the pillars supporting the roof of the platform are reused old railroad rails with an engraving from 1886."
