Yamato Museum, Kure

It is a museum that prospered as Japan's number one naval arsenal and introduces science and technology such as the military port where the battleship "Yamato" was built, the history of Kure, shipbuilding, and steelmaking. In the hall, a huge model that reproduces the battleship "Yamato" on a 1/10 scale is exhibited, and you can observe it up close. In addition to the exhibition room where you can experience and experience the principles of science and technology centered on ships in an easy-to-understand manner, there is also a large material exhibition room where you can see valuable real materials such as the Zero Fighter Type Zero Fighter Type 62. It is a facility where you can learn about the history of Kure, the technology of Kure, and the importance of peace. In addition, every Saturday and Sunday, we hold science shows and workshops that children can enjoy.

A fantastic museum with a 1/10 model of the Yamato as the main attraction. It also has lots of artefacts and information about the Yamato, ships like it and ww2 in general. Well worth a visit.
