WWII Naval History Yamato Museum and Kure Submarines Car Tour

This private door-to-door car tour is ideal for cruise visitors, Shinkansen travelers, and guests of all kinds. The Yamato Museum and the Peace Memorial Museum complete the historical puzzle: Hiroshima’s wartime buildup and the devastation of the atomic bombing. This comfortable car tour for up to three guests takes you to Kure, a historic port city that served as a major base of the former Imperial Navy. At the Yamato Museum, you will explore how Japan moved toward war. The 1/10-scale Yamato and authentic Zero fighter bring this history to life. Driving makes it easy to visit the hill overlooking the Yamato shipyard and the pier where you can see active submarines. The itinerary can be adjusted to include the Peace Memorial Museum, with lunch and some sightseeing stops shortened as needed. Your Guide: I am a U.S. university graduate and a Hiroshima-licensed guide who has led more than 200 tours. I will drive and guide you throughout the day. I look forward to seeing you soon!
