Yamato Museum

The museum displays a 1/10 scale model of the battleship Yamato, along with naval artifacts, wartime equipment, and maritime technology exhibits spanning multiple floors.

The museum stands at the exact location where workers constructed the Yamato battleship, which served as the Japanese Combined Fleet flagship until its sinking in 1945.

Exhibition rooms present the transformation of Kure from a naval base into a modern industrial city through displays of shipbuilding techniques and technological innovations.

Located 5 minutes from JR Kure Station, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00, except Tuesdays, with admission fees ranging from 200 to 500 yen.

The museum maintains a collection of original artifacts including a Mitsubishi Zero Fighter Type 62 and components from Imperial Japanese Navy warships.
