Site Seeing in Kure & Hiroshima |

Yamato Museum |
|
Yamato Museum is a museum of Battleship
Yamato, the largest and most powerful fleet during World War
II. It was build in Kure, and it left for war from
Kure Port.
It is located right behind Kure Station; it is in a walking
distance (about 15 minutes) from our hotel. This is a
very interesting museum to visit to lean the War and Kure's
history and role during the war time.

Yamato Onsen Monogatari |
Yamato Onsen Monogatari is a large "onsen"
entertainment park recently opened in Kure. It is
conveniently located very close to Yamato Museum.
1,100YEN per person for
10 hours of Onsen. The "onsen" spring is coming out
from the bottom of the ocean... yes.. it is coming out from
the ocean. So, it tastes pretty salty. ; )
