Yamato Museum
When one thinks of museums in Hiroshima, the first thing that comes to mind is the Yamato Museum.
This facility, which is also the Kure Maritime History and Science Museum, exhibits a Type Zero fighter plane, the Kaiten (human torpedo), and the Kairyu (special submarine) inside the museum. The submarine research vessel Shinkai and the battleship Mutsu are also on display outside the museum. The museum is one of the few museums in Japan that also exhibits exhibits the sea.
They also present the charm of the sea from a different direction from playing with it with great power, such as the one-tenth scale Battleship Yamato.
Specialty Navy Curry to eat when you come here.
There are many restaurants serving naval curry near the Yamato Museum.
All of the restaurants are trying to make their menu items as authentic as possible, and some of them have been served by former navy personnel, while others are competing with each other to serve navy curry that is faithfully prepared under the guidance of the navy.
It is also a recommended way of sightseeing to enjoy the Yamato Museum more by eating curry that was actually eaten by the Navy.

Brush Village Studio
The four treasures of writing (brush, inkstick, inkstone, and paper) are on display, showing works that would have been created from the brush.
The museum covers almost everything related to brushes, and there is a large area for hands-on experience, including demonstrations of brush making by traditional craftspeople, where visitors can learn various things about brushes. The exhibition is popular among people of all ages for its picture writing and brush-fujigake (a Japanese folk song with a hearty laugh).
Kumano brush, a woman's dream
Kumano brushes are so famous that every woman has heard of them at least once. There are a variety of makeup brushes, with face brushes at the top of the list.

All of the facilities are ingeniously designed and are well worth seeing. When you come here for sightseeing, it might be a good idea to take a day at a museum or art museum to relax and feast your eyes.
In particular, I recommend renting a bicycle for Ikuchijima, and although it will take you all day, you can get around the island for free, and you will have more memories of your trip as you ride around by yourself. Please visit Ikuchijima!
