The Last Samurai visits Yamato Museum in Kure city, Hiroshima prefecture and introduces the history of Battleship Yamato, Japanese imperial navy battleship during the World War 2. Kure city has been known as the naval base and it still has the base of Maritime Self Defense Forces. Yamato was the largest battleship in the world and it was the symbol of the Empire. But it was sunk in 1945 when Yamato headed for Okinawa as the last battle against the US.
After the museum, he introduces the boat which cruises Kure port to show us the warships of Self Defense Forces. You can also see the submarine base so closely.

We were there in September last year . Japanese technology was amazing . We learnt that the engineers who built the Yamato later on were responsible for the building of the Shinkansen train

@lastsamuraikyoto Ай бұрын

The most interesting story is the company which built main gun of Yamato made rotating restaurants after the war. There were some round shape restaurants which rotate on the top of the building so that the guests can see the whole scenery. I live in Kyoto. Near Kyoto station there is a hotel called Rihga Royal Hotel. This hotel has the rotating restaurant called French Dining Top of Kyoto.

That makes a lot of sense. It’s such a shame that the blueprints were destroyed as the war came to an end.

I have always mourned the loss of Yamato. I can only imagine how it would feel to walk her decks. She can only be described as magnificent and inspiring by anyone looking upon her. She may have been our enemy, but beautiful at the same time.

As an American I have been to Japan six times for my company. I have always been impressed with Japaneses manners and commitment. Your country is so picturesque and clean and I have a hard time finding a trash can there! When I go home I see how we act and find it repulsive...This Museum never fails to inspire. Thanks for sharing...People need to see this magnificent ship presentation...Its engineering was magnificent! Have you seen the movie, The Great War of Archimedes? Its about the Yamato...I dont know if that was the real reason why the Yamato was built according to the movie, but sounds compelling...Japan's best and brightest was on that ship when she went down. A horrible loss...No young men should die in war...My heart sunk looking at the Yamato that day and what became of her...

@lastsamuraikyoto Ай бұрын

I saw that movie. Yamamoto Isoroku was against building Yamato as the movie. That’s why Shinano, air carrier was built using the materials of another huge battle ship. Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel. And please enjoy Japan if you have another plan.

@enigmatic51me95 Ай бұрын

@@lastsamuraikyoto I would love to go back to Japan, but its not in the cards sort of speak...I know of the Shinano...In the 1940s aircraft carriers were challenging the Battleship as the way to go, tactically speaking...but many in the Japaneses Imperial Navy were against carriers and wanted Battleships as the primary capital ship... When you see a ship like the Yamato, even as a model, I find it hard not to think Battleships are the true terror of the High Seas...they have a presents that cannot be matched by ANY other ship...unfortunately the Battleship days of glory were about done. The Yamato was the ultimate Battleship ever built and nothing will come close to her design again. As for the carriers, its ironic Japan proved at Pearl Harbor aircraft carriers ability to project power and take the lead as the ship of choice in Battle. As times change like in today ships aircraft carriers are vulnerable to hypersoinc nuclear tip missiles. And a need for a ring of formidable Fleet defense ships has to be implemented to insure the carriers survivability...

@@lastsamuraikyoto I am truly sorry but your warships are not toys for children or tourists. Your problem isn’t your constitution- it’s China. The U.S. has global commitments and can never send everything against China if something happens. China has home field advantage, numbers, and distances are short vis-a-vis Taiwan. Unfortunately, Taiwan can be taken and America driven out. Now, if that happens China will control the S. China Sea and sea lanes. That means a knife to Japan’s throat. So you are TOAST and that goes for S. Korea, Singapore, Philippines and everyone else in your neighborhood. Of coarse, your leaders know all this. Your only hope is to join forces with the U.S., S.

Well done video. I hope to be able to visit this museum in a few years with my son. Planning a trip that will take us from Tokyo to Kanoya air museum on Kyushu with visits to old WW2 sites along the way.

In Tokyo, there is a war museum called Yushukan next to Yasukuni shirine. There is a beautiful Zero fighter there. I am also planning to visit Kanoya near future. Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel.

Thank you for visiting the museum. Please try a little bigger scale model of Yamato someday.

@Aelleor Ай бұрын

Thank you for this excellent video. The model of Yamato is breathtaking. I am fortunate enough to live near the USS Iowa’s permanent home in California, and the last generation of Battleships have a grace and majesty that I think will never been seen again. I also find it fascinating that the JMSDF retained the “Rising Sun” flag as their naval ensign, though I must admit that taken out of historical context, it’s far too great a design to not use.

@lastsamuraikyoto Ай бұрын

They use Rising sun flag. It is the official flag of Japanese Maritime Self Defense Forces. But I try not to shoot it. Some people feel that it is the symbol of the empire. Anyway thank you for watching Deep Japan channel.

Ein faszinierendes Modell des großen Schiffes❤ Eine Neuauflage des Modells 1/200 von Nichimo war schon beeindruckend. Grüße von einem Modellbauer aus Deutschland.

Actually this Yamato was not made by modeler but by a shipbuilder as this Yamato is made of steel. Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel. Please come and see this Yamato someday.

@@lastsamuraikyoto vielen Dank für die Informationen. Es ist klar, daß ein so großes Modell aus Stahl gebaut werden muss. Alles Gute und Grüße nach Kure❤️

Irony that Yamato is famous nowadays when most Japanese people had no idea she’d even existed until after the end of the war.

@lastsamuraikyoto Ай бұрын

People in Kure knew the existence of Yamato because it stayed at Kure port for some years and it was called "Yamato hotel" as it did not move. but it was the top secret anyway. Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel.

Lack of fuel, mostly, stuck the ship in port for most of its life. It was the same in Italy and Germany, where the largest ships rarely could sail as fuel was needed for convoys and destroyer escorts

Loved seeing this video of Yamato & the location of where it was built. I’m guessing the sister ship Musashi was built at the same place? So many souls lost from both ships being sunk, the fortunes of war. Thanks & I hope to see this place in person someday. 😀

Musashi was built at Nagasaki port in Kyoushu island. Please enjoy Kure someday. Thank you for watchin Deep Japan channel.

Great Ship, the best battleship even considering there at least two more modern classes around. Only mistake was not to make this class but for Japan to follow the British Empire model. But this ship in particular redeemed itself, paid all it’s sins... because it saved earth in 2199. I mean it, not in the real sense but for what it did in fiction: the people in Japan needed SBY back in 1974... I enjoyed it later in 78... and the remake of 2012 is a masterpiece. 2500+ killed, as IJN Yamato became a troop transport, during hours of intense bombing... no other ship class suffered as much, no other class can. “Steel Castles, at sea”... if we praise those castles at land made of mortar and stone... then we should pay our respect for all those who fought and are resting at the bottom of the ocean, regardless of which nation they served and honored

Thank you for this great video. Wow! What a superb model & museum. A few years ago, I went to the Tokyo Maritime Museum to see the Kawanishi H8K “Emily” flying boat. Unfortunately it had been moved to Kanoya, however I was really impressed by the models of the IJN fleet at the Tokyo Maritime Museum particularly the aircraft carriers. Are there other model ships at the Yamato museum? Best regards from Australia

There are many model ships at Yamato museum. But they are not the huge ones. And I will visit Kanoya someday, I promise. Thank you for watching Deep Japan channel.
