Ten miles north of Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka, experience “Kanazawa Hakkei” or the eight views of Kanazawa district. This area is home to scenic shorelines and mountains, along with majestic Buddhist temples and the Prime Minister’s island villa. Stroll the historic district and see why it inspired Ukiyo artists in the 19th century.
