Hi, I’m Tabi!

Also called Tetsu no Kujira, this museum presents the retired submarine Akishio and the history of mine-clearing work. The photograph dates to February 2017. Follow current submarine entry and photography guidance.

Kure Kaiji Curry is offered locally using recipes associated with naval vessels and units. Not every curry in Kure is a certified dish; check the official list and current menus and ingredients.
Check the approach from Kure Station to the museum waterfront. Confirm each museum’s opening and entry arrangements separately and keep out of working port areas.
