Mutsu Memorial Museum

The Mutsu Memorial Museum displays artifacts, personal belongings, and ship parts from the battleship Mutsu along the coastal area of Suo-Oshima.

The battleship Mutsu, commissioned in 1921 with 41cm main guns, mysteriously exploded and sank in 1943, resulting in 1,121 casualties.

The museum serves as a memorial site where visitors can learn about Japanese naval history through preserved artifacts and reconstructed ship spaces.

The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 430 yen for adults and 210 yen for students.

From the museum grounds, visitors can view the exact location where the battleship Mutsu sank, with 75 percent of its hull recovered between 1970 and 1978.
