How to Get to Yokosuka from Tokyo (2026)
There are two ways down to Yokosuka and they land you in different parts of town, so the right one depends on what you came for. Here's how a local picks - and why I almost always take the Keikyu.
The options
- Keikyu line from Shinagawa: fastest and cheapest - take a 'Limited Express' (快特) to Yokosuka-chuo, the station for Dobuita Street and the navy town centre
- JR Yokosuka line from Tokyo/Shinagawa: slower, drops at JR Yokosuka station near Verny Park and the Mikasa side
- For Mikasa & the ferry: Keikyu Shioiri or JR Yokosuka are both a short walk
- No transfers needed on the Keikyu limited express - it's a single direct ride
Local tip
Don't overthink tickets - just tap an IC card (Suica/PASMO) through the gates. The Keikyu limited express is the one to wait for; the all-stations local train adds 15-20 minutes for the same fare. Fares and times are estimates - check a transit app on the day.
