Kannonzaki Park - Gongen Cave
A memorable park view in Kannonzaki Park.
Kannonzaki Park is a distinctive sightseeing spot in Yokosuka, and this scene highlights its gongen cave. It is a rewarding stop for photography, casual sightseeing, and discovering another side of Yokosuka beyond the main tourist route. Whether you visit for a short stop or spend more time exploring the wider Hashirimizu / Kannonzaki / Uraga, it offers a photogenic and memorable glimpse of the city’s nature, culture, and waterfront atmosphere.
昔、この洞窟には大蛇が住みつき漁民や運漕の人々を苦しめていましたが、諸国修行の途中でこの地に立ち寄られた行基善菩が、大蛇を退治してその霊を鵜羽山権現として祀ったと伝えられています。
