Excellent day if you want to get a closer look at the Japanese JMSDF
Isabelle and Koh were very knowledgeable hosts with excellent English. Unfortunately when we went, the main Yamato museum was closed for renovations, but we took in many other sights. The port tour around the ships is well worth doing. Be prepared for lots of walking as it is a full day that takes in a lot of the Kure Harbour area.
