Review (5/5): Super useful and informative guide!!!!
I am really impressed by this guide to Yokosuka, which written by a Navy spouse who was recently stationed in Yokosuka, Japan with her husband and kids. The guide is packed full of really useful information (IN ENGLISH!!!) about local restaurants, shopping, entertainment, beauty/health, schools, and practical tips about living in and around Yokosuka. I haven't seen this much English information about Yokosuka in one place...not even on web blogs or review sites. I have lived in Yokosuka for nearly three years, and there is a lot in this guide that I previously wasn't aware of because of the cultural nuances and language barriers that challenge us "gaijin".
A lot of my friends in Yokosuka have this book, and their relatively new copies are dog-eared because they are really USING the guide to explore the areas in and around Yokosuka. This book is very family-oriented, since there is a lot of focus on restaurants and fun stuff that doesn't include the local bar scene...which is a nuance rather hard to find online. However if you're new to town and looking for a watering hole, there are tons of restaurants, izakayas, and karaoke places listed in this guide which have a much better drink selection and atmosphere than most bars in the Honch.
I hope that future editions of this book will include photos, but I'm incredibly pleased with this guide, and only wish that I had more time here to explore it ALL!!
