Yokosuka Research Park
Yokosuka Research Park (YRP) is an area in Yokosuka City, Japan, where many of the wireless, mobile communications related companies have set up their research and development centers and joint testing facilities.
Most buildings are laid out on the north of this main road.
YRP was constructed during the 1990s near to NTT's Yokosuka Research & Development Center.
