Yamato Museum, Chugoku, Japan

4.5 (859 reviews) Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #2 in Chugoku Speciality Museums

Stunned!!

I went to visit this museum as part of the package tour to Hiroshima that I purchased. I didn't expect too much in the beginning but when getting there I totally agree with other reviewers. This is a must-visit site for military or naval enthusiast. Although we need to walk from Kure Station but the sign is very clear. Just follow the sign. Combining the visit with JMSDF Museum (just on the opposite site) is also a good option. While YOUME shopping mall can be a place for resting, having meal or even shopping.

    Despite the lack of translation, a must.
    40 mn from Hiroshima, a very interesting museum about This ship, with many information on Japanese Navy during WWII. Lack of translation is on purpose. It is obvious that the museum aims to deal with "domestic trauma". Foreigners are welcome, but not so much. And this makes the Museum even more interesting. Visit to the Submarine on the other side of the street is also worth half an hour at least.
