Things to do in Kure

I've wanted to visit the Yamato Museum ever since I learned about the war in my student days. I can sum it up in one word: "I'm glad I went." The model of the Yamato battleship in the museum was overwhelming, and I wanted to see it in person. It was a great and beautiful battleship that captivated everyone who saw it! I also had the chance to learn more about the history of Kure and what happened during the war. It's a great place for history buffs!

Memorable reminder that the tragedy should never happen again. Well preserved and maintained. A must visit.

Looking for a powerful, beautiful spot in Japan? Hiroshima City is home to the Peace Memorial Park, and I visited just as cherry blossoms exploded into color throughout the city 🌸Location: Nakajimacho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0811, Japan Hours: Open 24/7, year-round (especially magical in cherry blossom season!) What makes it special: This park isn’t just a green space, but a living memory of hope and peace. You’ll see the iconic A-Bomb Dome, beautiful modern architecture, and moving memorials alongside the rivers. The vibe is respectful, serene, and breathtaking—especially when the cherry blossoms are out during spring.Getting around: Hiroshima’s streetcar system makes it super easy to reach the park from anywhere in the city—look for the green line towards Hondori and get off at Genbaku Dome-mae. No need to worry about timing, since the park is open all day.What’s more, if you’re traveling with a group you can hire VR headsets to use at the park!

You can learn more about the history of Kure. There are also many exhibits related to the Self-Defense Forces and submarines. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Kure Station.

Get a direct understanding of the scene of the atomic bomb explosion at that time. 140,000 people's lives were devoured by the war. No war! I wish the world peace! Everyone is happy! There are many tourists visiting here, especially foreigners. It is the place with the most tourists in Hiroshima.

Very nice place, worth visiting, very good!

Universal Studios Osaka is well-managed, and the Halloween event had a great atmosphere. The Butterbeer at the Harry Potter restaurant was delicious, the food was good, and the prices were reasonable. The park was also very clean. Overall, a very good experience.

​The big five-story tower (the Keep) is actually a museum. It's all about samurai history and how the city was run way back when. The exhibits are easy to follow and they’ve got some legit-looking old armor and swords.​The Absolute Best Bit: Hands-On Fun!​My favorite part is the interactive floor on the way up! This is where you can live out your samurai dreams. You can try on a crazy helmet or a piece of armor, but the real highlight is getting to lift a replica katana! It's surprisingly heavy, and it gives you a whole new respect for the samurai. Great picture moment, too!​And once you get to the top, the views are amazing. You get a perfect look at the modern city a beautiful mix of the old history below and the new skyline all around. Totally worth the small entrance fee!
