By TokyoCityscape 東京の街並み

This video provides an immersive walking tour through the Hemi (逸見) neighborhood of Yokosuka City (横須賀市) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, following the area near the Keikyu Line. Hemi is a lesser-known but locally significant district situated between Yokohama and the tip of the Miura Peninsula, offering viewers a glimpse of authentic residential and local commercial streets far from major tourist hubs.

The walk captures the calm atmosphere typical of Yokosuka’s suburban neighborhoods, featuring a mix of traditional homes, small retail shops, and glimpses of daily life. As the video progresses, viewers can observe elements like the Keikyu railway tracks, which are a lifeline connecting neighborhoods across Kanagawa to central Tokyo. Hemi is particularly notable for its proximity to Yokosuka’s port and naval base, but this walk focuses on the community aspect, highlighting clean streets, local amenities, and an unhurried lifestyle that stands in contrast to urban Tokyo.

For travelers interested in discovering the quieter corners of Kanagawa, Hemi offers convenient access via Hemi Station on the Keikyu Line, making it a straightforward day trip from major cities like Tokyo or Yokohama. The video serves as a practical guide for those wanting to explore peaceful local neighborhoods, familiarize themselves with public transport in the region, or simply enjoy a virtual stroll through everyday Japan. The area is also a good hopping-off point for exploring more of Yokosuka’s attractions, such as Verny Park, the seaside, and sites linked to Japan’s naval history.
