Yamato Wharf
Yamato Wharf is a park next to the Yamato Museum, built to resemble a one-quarter scale replica of the forward deck of the battleship "Yamato." The "Yamato Time Bell" within the grounds is said to bring good fortune in love, making it a popular "lovers’ sanctuary." It is also cherished as a local relaxation spot—people jog, stroll, nap on the lawn, or eat lunch on benches. You can enjoy a leisurely walk while watching ships pass by during the day, or take an evening stroll after sunset to enjoy the sparkling night views of this port town. You may also spot a few night anglers. Access to Yamato Wharf: by car, about 2 km (around 7 minutes) from Kure IC, or about 7 km (around 30 minutes) from Aga IC. By train, take the JR Kure Line (Rapid) from JR Hiroshima Station (about 32 minutes) to Kure Station, then walk about 5 minutes. By streetcar and ferry: take Hiroshima Electric Railway from Hiroshima Station (about 32 minutes) to Hiroshima Port, then take a ferry (45 minutes) or a Super Jet (23 minutes) to Kure Port, then walk 1 minute.
