Hiroshima + Kure Port Naval Port Tour

Hiroshima
A place in modern history that everyone knows.
It is the largest city in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions of Japan.
The first city in history to be attacked by an atomic bomb.
In addition to the famous Hiroshima atomic bomb site,
There is also Miyajima Shrine with its sea torii.
Kure Port, the pride of the Japanese Navy,
Onomichi, a scene resembling literature and movies,
There is also a bunch of octopus in Mihara.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit this city and appreciate this largest city located in the Seto Inland Sea.

The museums and memorial parks near the atomic bomb site actually have a very heavy feeling, but was it right to drop this weapon? Or was this something Japan had to endure at the time? Is it still controversial in discussions among later generations? But it tells us one thing: the damage caused by atomic weapons is indeed very terrifying. The power of today's atomic weapons is dozens or hundreds of times that of the little boy, and the damage caused is unimaginable.

But as a military fan, when I came to Hiroshima, of course I had to go to the port city of "Kure" located in the suburbs of Hiroshima.

Kure City (KURESHI), which started as a military port and prospered, is known as the "No. 1 Military Port in the East". The Yamato, the hope of all Japanese people in the past, was also born here. From the Imperial Navy era to the current Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Kure has always been the most important military port. Located in a natural bay in the Seto Inland Sea, Kure Port is suitable as a military base. Famous Japanese warships in history also used this port as their home port.

The city is full of artifacts from the imperial period, and the remains of famous ships such as Mutsu, Haruna, and Amagi are also commemorated here.

Take a stroll along the harbor of Kure City, and feel the gentle breeze caressing your face and hair. At dusk, you can take a boat from the building next to the Kure City Maritime History and Science Museum. It is also a good idea to take a cruise ship tour, where you can admire all kinds of active ships of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and we are not afraid to take pictures.

The whole city is full of "spirit". After all, the famous Japanese Navy military attaché Morishita once said: "It's very spirited. Do you still want to sail a warship when you are so quiet!"

In the end, Hiroshima-style omelette wins over Osaka-style omelette, right? I think so anyway.
