The port city of Kure possesses a rich history of shipbuilding, and has served as a major naval base since the 19th century. Its strategic importance made it the target of extensive bombing during World War II; today, several of the main places to visit in Kure are war memorials and monuments dedicated to global peace. A number of museums tell the story of Kure's development, its reputation in the fields of shipbuilding and defense, and its continued importance to the country and wider region.
