Rekishi-no-mieru-oka-koen Park
A park built on a hill overlooking Kure Port in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Meaning “hill from which you can see history,” the park offers a view of the covered dock where the battleship Yamato and other vessels were built, as well as other former Japanese naval facilities. At this famous tourism destination, you can feel the history of the city of Kure, which was established as Kure Naval District in the Meiji period and later transitioned from naval port town to peacetime industrial city. The park has a memorial to the Yamato built in the shape of its bridge which is also flanked by models of the armor-piercing shells its main gun fired, a plaque dedicated to the ship-building dock, and a stone monument inscribed with a haiku by Masaoka Shiki.
