I really enjoyed your Review of Hotel New Yokosuka. I spend time there in my line of work and I must say you really captured the essence of it all. Well done and well written.

Was this a room in the “newer – opened in 2008″ Residential Annex? Thanks for this video by the way, it was very informative.

Hey Steve –

Taxi’s in Japan are extremely expensive. A taxi to Yokosuka would likely cost over a $300.

The best way to get to Yokosuka by train is to take the Narita Express (NEX) train from Narita airport. There is a Narita Express ticket counter in the basement of the airport. Tell them you’re going to Yokosuka, and they’ll get you setup with the tickets. Probably a good idea to buy your return ticket at the same time. Each way it’s about 5,000 yen. The Narita Express has luggage racks, and is designed for traveling with luggage.

You’ll be able to take the Narita Express “most of the way” to Yokosuka. You’ll either have to transfer at Yokohama station or Ofuna station. You’ll transfer to a local/commuter train on the “JR Yokosuka line.” These trains aren’t built for luggage, but they’re usually not too busy if you’re not traveling at rush hour, so luggage shouldn’t be a problem. Just don’t take any HUGE suitcases. All of the stations and trains on this route are signed in English, so it’s not too difficult. There’s a bit more detail on this site: https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/page/portal/navfac/navfac_ww_pp/navfac_navfacfe_pp/gettingtoyokosuka

Thanks for the information. I am booking travel to Yokosuka right now and was planning on staying at the New Yoko, this helped to answer my questions about the annex.
Can you advise me on the best way to get from Narita airport to Yokosuka? Are the train systems conducive to someone traveling with luggage? What about cabs? Thanks again for the review.
