Japan Coast Guard Museum Tour & Maritime Security Lunch Discussion

Join YCAPS for a focused tour of the Japan Coast Guard Museum in Yokohama, followed by a small-group lunch at Antenna America to reflect on the museum’s insights into maritime deterrence, gray zone challenges, and Japan’s Coast Guard evolution.
