Every spot here is a classic. Even a whole day isn’t enough to see it all.

Warayakiya Roppongi
A restaurant serving dishes made with an abundance of specialty ingredients from Tosa (Kochi Prefecture). In addition to table seating, the counter seats are recommended for small groups.
The local cuisine here is really unique, but the smoky air was a bit hard to handle.

Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime Museum)
A museum introducing the Yamato, the world’s largest battleship during World War II. Visitors can also learn about Kure’s history and science and technology. The 1/10-scale battleship Yamato, the symbol of the Yamato Museum, has been recreated based on original blueprints, underwater survey footage, and crew testimony. It continues to share the importance of peace and the excellence of science and technology with future generations.
This place mainly covers World War II history, especially the 1:10 scale model of the Yamato battleship. As a military enthusiast, coming here felt like discovering a hidden treasure.

Mukojima-Hyakkaen Gardens
A garden filled with flowers throughout the seasons, offering a taste of traditional Japanese charm. Located near TOKYO SKYTREE and Senso-ji Temple, it is an ideal stop during a walk along the Sumida River.
I went there in winter, and it was pretty bare—there was nothing much to see.
