How to survive in Kure

Welcome to Kure City, a city of port. We have a very long history in our town.

A Little History of Kure
Since we have flourished a port city, many foreigners visited our town. Also, Kure was famous for navy base during the war time. As you may have heard before, Battleship Yamato was build in Kure. (Click Yamato Museum for more details.)

During the post war era, with our experience in ship production, we became famous for cargo ship production. In Kure Bay, you see many factories producing a ship as well as metal. Also, Kure has one of the largest self defense forces and relatively small US navy base, which is another hint of war era.

Master the basic Japanese

Regardless of how long you stay in Kure, the first key step to survive in Kure is to learn some of basic Japanese. Kure City is a small city with a population of 200,000. Not many people in Kure can speak and understand English. Here comes are basic Japanese words that help you you to survive in Kure.
