Around Kenritsu-daigaku Station there are 3 walking spots, ranging from a skate shop and a taco place to a seaside skate park. All three sit in Yasuura-cho and Heisei-cho in Yokosuka, lined up so you move from the streets toward the water. Combine shopping, a meal and the park and you have a walk that fills half a day nicely.

Suggested order: AROUND SKATESHOP (Yasuura-cho 1-3-6) → LOOK UP (Yasuura-cho 3-25) → Umikaze Park Sports Plaza (Heisei-cho 3-23). Start with the shops in town and finish by the sea.
AROUND SKATESHOP is a skate shop carrying both overseas and Japanese brands. Its original wax makes a good Yokosuka souvenir, so you can secure a gift at the very start of the walk. According to the shop's own description, Umikaze Park is about a 10-minute push away. The address is 1-3-6 Yasuura-cho, Yokosuka, 1F.
LOOK UP is a recommended first stop for Tex-Mex beginners in Yokosuka, a city known as a fiercely competitive taco battleground. The standards here are the meat tacos and chicken tacos on flour tortillas. Dining in requires a reservation, so it is worth arranging before you set out. The address is 3-25 Yasuura-cho, Yokosuka.
Umikaze Park Sports Plaza is a skate park by the sea. Opened in 1997, it fills up even on weekdays with students after school and adults after work. It is a place where skateboarding sparks conversation across generations, so even if you never step on a board, watching alone tells you a lot about the town. The address is 3-23 Heisei-cho, Yokosuka.
All 3 spots use Kenritsu-daigaku Station as their access point. Since LOOK UP requires a reservation for dining in, call ahead before you settle in at the park. And if you have a board with you, pushing from AROUND SKATESHOP down to Umikaze Park is the most satisfying way to link these three together.
