Dobuita Street (AKA the Honch)

We took Macie off base to get her nails done this weekend. The nail salon ended up being in the area known as the Honch. Because the Honch's wild reputation, we had not spent any time looking around that part of Yokosuka. What we discovered was that part of the Honch is located on Dobuita Street - which during the day - is a tourist destination for the Japanese.

Interesting that the banners were in English.

This is the entrance at one end of the street.

A very busy sightseeing area. I actually ended up driving down this road trying
to find the nail salon. Mona, Macie and Andrea were stressed - 
something about that I wasn't supposed to be driving down this street. 

                                    The ridiculous looking hamburger in the middle costs nearly $50.

Despite the cost, the restaurant was very busy. Notice the line to the left -
they are waiting to be seated. The restaurant is across the street.

                                  Cool storefront for a wood carving shop.
                

A bar in a building made to look like a shrine.

Interesting to see the Japanese perspective of what a country bar looks like.
I just noticed the the skull of the cow is supposed to represent Texas.

I liked the owners name of this Irish Pub.

This bar's name doesn't leave much to the imagination.
