Head down to Mikasa Park, a waterfront park rich with numerous sites related to the country's maritime heritage. With the U.S. naval base and harbor located right beside it, the park also houses a decommissioned battleship, now functioning as a naval museum. Elsewhere, a ferry terminal runs trips to an island offshore, and a dominant, strikingly designed arch stands as a symbol of peace and unity. In addition to the cultural highlights here, there's also plenty of space for the more traditional park features, such as grass, trees, and flowers.

Great place to run and play on a sunny day. Beautiful park, explore the ship, burn off energy, enjoy the waterfront.

We heard great things about the water and light show at Mikasa park, but every night for 3 days it was closed! No notice to the public either. Very saddening.

Its a special feeling to be able to see the last of a kind, and that was exactly what I felt seeing the memorial ship. This pre-dreadnought is carefully cared for with knowledgeable curators. A recommended visit for history buffs and lovers of naval vessels. A great experience if you don't mind a bit of revisionist history here and there.

It's a lovely park, can't wait to picnic here and for the cherry blossoms. The museum costs $6 for adults and is discounted for children. It is brimming with interesting stories and history. Most of the exhibits feature both japanese and English translations and it's phenomenal.
