Kure: Naval Vessel Tour and Yamato Museum - Naval Port Cruise

A day-long course in Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture—once praised as the finest naval port in the East—where you can thoroughly enjoy Maritime Self-Defense Force vessels from both sea and land. In the morning, board the naval vessel cruise from Kure Central Wharf, observing escort ships and submarines from the sea up close. At the Yamato Museum, you'll be amazed by the enormous model of the battleship Yamato measuring 26.3 meters in length, and at the Teppou no Kujirafune Museum, a rare experience awaits inside an actual submarine. At midday, take a break at Renga-dori where you can enjoy the local specialty of thin udon noodles, and finish with a close-up watch of submarines berthed at the wharf from Areya-kara-Sukojima. If you're a naval vessel enthusiast or love vehicles, this is a naval port tour through Kure that will keep you excited all day long.
