Descrizione
Explore Hiroshima's naval port of Kure on a 4-hour private tour. Cruise past naval ships, step inside a real submarine, and visit the Yamato Museum, with tickets included.
Go beyond Hiroshima's famous landmarks and discover Kure, a remarkable port city shaped by shipbuilding, naval history, and the sea. On this 4-hour private tour, cruise close to naval vessels, step inside a real submarine, and explore the newly renewed Yamato Museum—with admission and cruise tickets included.
See Naval Ships Up Close on a Harbor Cruise
Meet your English-speaking guide at JR Kure Station and walk toward the waterfront. Board a pre-booked 40-minute shared sightseeing cruise across Kure Bay. See the shipyards and, depending on which vessels are in port, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyers and submarines from the water. Your guide will provide context before and after the boat ride, which has its own Japanese-language commentary.
Step Inside a Real Submarine
At the JMSDF Kure Museum, nicknamed the Iron Whale Museum, discover the history of submarines and maritime safety. Enter the retired submarine Akishio, displayed on land, and imagine what life was like for its crew in the compact passageways and working spaces.
Discover the Legendary Battleship Yamato
Visit the Yamato Museum, reopened in 2026, and see its extraordinary 1:10-scale model of the battleship Yamato. Learn how Kure grew into a major naval and shipbuilding center, explore maritime engineering, and hear about the human stories of wartime and postwar reconstruction.
Experience Kure with a Private Guide
Stroll along the harbor, hear how the city rebuilt and transformed after World War II, and enjoy time for questions and photos. Your guide will help make the museums' technical exhibits and the local history easier to understand in English.
The tour finishes at JR Kure Station. Museum entry and the scheduled harbor cruise are included, so you can focus on exploring rather than arranging tickets. The walking and museum experience is private; the harbor cruise is shared with other passengers. The order of visits may change to match the cruise departure time.
