Curry was introduced to Japan via the British Navy and now the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force eats it every Friday. This curry festival held in Yokosuka celebrates that legacy.
What happens?
Alongside the classic Yokosuka Navy Curry and Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry, there’ll be a curry buffet and a curry bread festival. You’ll also be able to try regional curries from all over Japan, from Aomori down to Ehime.
During the event, the nearby Yokosuka Regional Headquarters of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (next to Verny Park) will be open to the public.
How to get there
While the festival is usually held at Mikasa Park, in 2025 it will be held at Verny Park due to construction.
From Shinjuku, take either the Saikyō or Shōnan–Shinjuku Line to Musashi-Kosugi. Transfer to the Yokosuka Line and alight at Yokosuka Station. The venue is a couple of minutes away on foot. The entire journey should take around 90 minutes.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
