-- Showcasing the Appeal of Sarushima and the Second Sea Fort with Visual Displays
This facility has been developed as a tourist hub for Sarushima, an uninhabited island floating in Tokyo Bay, and the Second Sea Fort, an artificial island that was once a key part of the capital’s defenses.
The first floor is the “Mikasa Terminal,” which has ticket sales and tourist information, while the second floor’s “Sarushima Visitor Center” is an exhibition space that highlights the charms of Sarushima and the Second Sea Fort. The exhibits include floor displays for an aerial view of Sarushima and videos introducing the island in 4K high-definition.
Along the corridors, windows, and staircases, large graphics depict the island environment, offshore scenery, and even video introductions via QR codes to boost visitors’ motivation to explore.
There are also collaborative exhibitions featuring a model of the Second Sea Fort as it looked when built in 1914 and graphics illustrating its structure, revealing the hidden history and background of this Tokyo Bay fortress. This makes the content appealing to everyone from general visitors to history enthusiasts.

On the 15th, the 'Mikasa Terminal' in Ogawa-cho, Yokosuka City, which will serve as a new base for the route connecting Sarushima, Tokyo Bay's only uninhabited island, and the Second Sea Fort landing tour, will open. A 'Visitor Center' introducing the history and attractions of Sarushima will be established, and five parties, including the city and the company operating the route, will cooperate to attract tourists through a public-private partnership.
Sarushima, which sees about 230,000 visitors annually, is a key spot for sightseeing in Yokosuka. The terminal, serving as the base for this popular spot, will have a ticket counter, waiting area, souvenir shop, and the city's tourist information center on the first floor to promote sightseeing and food to visitors.
On the second floor, we set up the 'Saru Island Visitor Center.' You can check out the island's history and historic sites, and freely enjoy things like a diorama of the Second Sea Fort and VR (virtual reality) videos, making it fun to learn more. We also built a bus and taxi drop-off area next to the terminal, making it more convenient for sightseeing in the city.
Takahiro Suzuki, CEO of Triangle, which operates the Sarushima route, explained, 'At the cruise reception, we often get requests for city sightseeing as well. This terminal is what we created after discussing how the public and private sectors could respond.' He also mentioned that going forward, they will focus on three main areas: promoting the charm of Sarushima, serving as a hub for city tours, and connecting environment with tourism.
Mayor Katsuaki Kamiji said, 'I'm excited that such a wonderful tourist hub has been built,' and added, 'The cooperation between public and private sectors, each making the most of their strengths, from a tourism perspective is something unique to Yokosuka. We hope to continue working closely together to boost and revitalize tourism.'
