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. ; )
 
Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Museum
Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Museum is another tourist attraction in Kure.  This is about museum on self defense force but not fully reveal yet.  This will open early April 2007.
 
Miyajima & Itsukushima Shrine
One of the most famous tourist attractions in Hiroshima City is Miyajima & Itsukushima Shrine.  Miyajima is an island off the Hiroshima, located at the west coast of Hiroshima, around 40 minutes by train from Hiroshima Station. 

It is recognized as the World Heritage and is also considered to be one of "the three most beautiful views in Japan", along with Matsushima and Amano Hashidate.

You can definitely enjoy the view from the Miyajima Island and Itsukushima Shrine, but you will also be astonished to see Itsukushima Shrine's famous floating torii.
