Alley Karasukojima, Civil engineering heritage and urban park in Kure, Japan.

Alley Karasukojima extends along the waterfront of Kure Bay, featuring landscaped paths and viewing areas for observing naval vessels and submarines.

The site transformed from a torpedo launching training ground during the Taisho era into a public park established in 1985, marking a shift in land use.

The area contains brick buildings from the former naval arsenal, representing the industrial development and maritime traditions of Kure city.

Visitors can reach the park using public transportation, with the Kure City Tourist Information Center providing guidance and historical background information.

The park offers direct views of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force submarines and escort ships anchored at the adjacent Kure Naval Base.
