Nippon Maru, Four-masted barque museum ship in Minatomirai, Japan

The Nippon Maru stretches 97 meters in length and features 29 sails, standing as a preserved maritime vessel at Nippon Maru Memorial Park in Yokohama.

Built in 1930 as a training vessel, the Nippon Maru educated over 11,500 maritime students across 54 years before its retirement in 1984.

The ship earned designation as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, reflecting the nation's dedication to maritime education and naval traditions.

Visitors can access the vessel from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for elementary students.

The vessel remains anchored in the former Yokohama dockyard from 1898, which itself holds status as a national important cultural property.
