SOFA-sponsored Personnel
SOFA-sponsored and Japanese employees with regular base access will have access to the open base festival using their DBIDS-registered CAC or authorized ID. SOFA-sponsored personnel and Japanese employees who have the privilege to escort guests may do so as any other day. SOFA-sponsored personnel and their guests will use either Carney Gate or Womble Gate to access the base.
Please contact the CFAY Visitor Control Center for more information including what documentation guests may need and how to submit pre-authorized guest pass request.
Also of note, pets are not authorized in the event area.
Note for MLC Employees
For MLC employees who do not have base access seven days a week, a policy letter will allow MLCs to enter the base through Carney Gate using their regular ID. However, it is important to note that this exemption will only apply to MLC employees. An MLC employee’s guests will need to pre-register through the City of Yokosuka and use Mikasa Gate to enter. MLC employee guests are asked to view the link provided here: https://www.cocoyoko.net/event/spring-fes.html
