Navy Memorial Museum

The Navy Memorial Museum contains 500 exhibits related to maritime history, including materials from the Imperial Japanese Navy and Marshal Heihachiro Togo collections.

Founded in 1964, the museum occupies part of the former Naval Engineering College building within the Maizuru Naval Base, established as a crucial shipyard in 1901.

The exhibitions showcase the evolution of Japanese naval engineering, military strategies, and maritime operations through detailed technical displays and historical artifacts.

The museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 16:00 during weekends and holidays, with free parking and access via bus from Higashi Maizuru Station.

The museum preserves original elements from the historical shipyard, including dry docks and industrial cranes that reflect the naval engineering capabilities of Imperial Japan.
