Coaska Bayside Stores is a long-beloved shopping plaza.

Everywhere you look, from both inside and around the facility, there are gorgeous views of Yokosuka Bay and the beachside. More than 100 trendy shops are gathered over the six above-ground floors, with offerings including gourmet eats, retail shopping, and entertainment. At the Yokosuka area “eats” zone you can enjoy local specialties and shops that boast a variety of meats, fish, and vegetables harvested from the Yokosuka-Miura Peninsula Area.

Essentially a one-stop-shop, the mall is designed to be incredibly convenient for all your shopping needs. The 2nd- through 4th-floor retail area offers living and daily life necessities including fashion, interior design, variety stores, cosmetics, and medicine. The well-rounded floors in this area are complete with spaces for learning, health, and beauty as well. The 4th through 6th floors are dedicated to entertainment. They host a cinema and bowling alley, as well as a sports complex and book cafe.

Coaska Bayside Stores aims to provide a facility that’s great for a full day of activities, regardless of age, sex, or nationality. Each and every customer can use Yokosuka as a base for their daily life. The name, “Coaska”, is a combination of the words “coast” and “Yokosuka.” The logo uses the letter “C” to represent the facility with silhouettes of people holding hands, from children to the elderly, to incorporate the idea of a diverse group of people coming together here. Coaska aims to foster an atmosphere that promotes different lifestyles and aspirations.

The building’s decorative architecture was designed with an elegant atmosphere in mind. It’s both dignified and overflowing with a tangible sense of exoticism. The entire building delivers a sense of safety and environmental efficiency through the use of things like LED lighting to enhance visitors’ experiences.
