This isn't a commercialized tourist spot—it's just a small fishing town with only about 7,000 people. You can really feel how peaceful it is here.

Kiunkaku
Built in 1919 (Taisho 8), Kiunkaku is a modern villa and one of Atami's three great villas, alongside the private villas of the Mitsubishi Iwasaki family and the now-lost Sumitomo villa.
You can stroll through the garden and enjoy the changing natural scenery throughout the year. The flowers in spring and the autumn leaves are especially beautiful.

Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime Museum)
A museum introducing the Yamato, the world’s largest battleship during World War II. Visitors can also learn about Kure’s history and science and technology. The 1/10-scale battleship Yamato, the symbol of the Yamato Museum, has been recreated based on original blueprints, underwater survey footage, and crew testimony. It continues to share the importance of peace and the excellence of science and technology with future generations.
There are lots of exhibits, including submarines and airplanes. It's a really interesting museum that gives you a deeper understanding of military technology.

Higashi Chaya District
It is one of Kanazawa's representative tourist attractions. The townscape with its beautiful Degoushi (latticed window) and the stone pavement has been selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government.
This is the largest and most charming of Kanazawa's three teahouse districts. There are plenty of gold leaf products and foods to check out.
