I live in Hiroshima. I love getting the train to Kure and walking around the waterfront. The museum is always fun and the model of the Yamato battleship when you first walk in is absolutely impressive. Great video mate .
Is there still 'Towards the Future' exhibition room that's very much made as Leiji Matsumoto art exhibitions in the same museum? did Analyzer robot still there?
I've been there. We were visiting Hiroshima when we saw billboards for the Yamato museum in Kure, so we decided to take a trip down there. I thought that it was interesting that the Japanese would build a museum for a ship that the US Navy sunk in World War II. Too bad the video didn't show the placards for the anime Space Battleship Yamato that were just outside the entrance to the museum.
Only in Japan! ❤ As someone who has a fascination for this kind of thing it feels special to witness this. Such a beautiful and artistically tasteful culture and the way they’ve displayed these pieces is truly a thing of art. That manhole cover too… That gun… the screw and rudder.. the breach… wow… I never knew that anything like this existed until now. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Both are beautiful museums, with a very friendly staff. I visited both, stayed in a fantastic hotel (Kure Hankyou ) , very close to both museums. The submarine was hoisted up there with giant cranes, they sell postcards with penndrawings on how it was done. I was there before C-19 hit. The Yamato museum has an entrance fee, the navy museum is free. And if you want to walk through Kure, its a beautiful town, (you can also visit the former IJN Navy commanders house, also a museum ), but it is very hilly. Since I'm from the Netherlands, the flat northern part, and not as fit as I thought I was, it's quite a tour. But well worth it. And you can take a very nice ferrytrip to Hiroshima, if you don't want to take the train.
IJN Yamato in 1/10! Stark 💪 Mein Modell 1/200 vom ehrwürdigen Hersteller Nichimo ist schon gewaltig. Ein interessantes Museum. Meine Glückwünsche und Grüße aus Deutschland
2:35 apparently Jesus visited the museum when you did, heh. But seriously, awesome video. Been pretty curious about this museum, would be fascinating to visit. Visited Pearl Harbour a good few years back and it was also very interesting. Went up onto Missouri and the sheer scale of a battleship is just mind boggling, and Yamato was even a bit bigger then that. Equally as interesting was the one in London, albeit for slightly different reasons.
The 1:10 model is really the main attraction at the museum yes, they do have other things, such as artifacts from the wreck, but there's barely any English explanations. I may be giving the museum shit, but to be fair, I was suffering from a kidney stone when I went AND I was exhausted from the previous day
Not mentioned or shown: The breakwater behind the museum, that has a 1:1 scale outline of the Yamato class from bow to approx the conning tower. Gives a true idea of the size of these ships. No pics of the drydock Yamato was built in. (If it still exists) My personal "fantasy" artifact (ignoring "war grave" and cost/difficulty issues): one of the 18 inch guns, or better still......an entire turret. Both could be recovered without disturbing the main hull. And on a unrelated subject: you can't tell the story of the Pacific War (especially the "ran wild" year of 1942, without the "Val" and "Kate". NO restored originals. There should be (at minimum) a pair in Japan, and a pair at the Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola, IMO. (If I win a gazillion bucks in a lottery, that project is on my bucket list)
The key didentifying feature of an IJN battleship was the 'pagoda' control tower....The builders sought to give farther optical sighting. The rangefinder on Yamato was 15 meters across and could track out to 40,000 yards according to my Osprey source.
Always thought that sub museum looked sweet. Great idea for displaying a boat, especially a teardrop hull. It's a shame that every single Japanese submarine from WW2 was either sunk in combat or sunk by the allies after the war. Every. Single. One. Examples of midgets are all we have left.
Very good video, but filming is not allowed inside the submarine. There are many exhibits in military museums that cannot be filmed for reasons of personal information, copyright, confidentiality, etc. The same applies to visits to active naval vessels. You should understand that uploading videos without consideration will lead to stricter regulations, which will cause problems for future visitors.
American battleships were limited in size by the Panama Canal. IJN battleships were not so limited. And the IJN strategy around the "decisive battle" and treaty limitations lead to the Japanese penchant for really big and powerful behemoths like Yamato.....
But American battleships had advanced radar and fire control systems meaning that they can easily fight at night and with better accuracy. Plus the AA would be more accurate than any Japanese AA. During operation Ten Go, only 10 aircraft were shot down out of the hundreds sent.
@@michaelusswisconsin6002 In the opening months of the Pacitic war, most American naval commanders were in ignorance of the capabilities of radar, because of the secrecy around it, and so failed to properly utilize it. 'Admiral Norman Scott should have annihilated a Japanese task force who were re-supplying Guadalcanal. Despite the early warning provided by USS Helena and crossing the T of the Japanese, the battle turned into a melee and the Japanese survived to fight another battle. This was in October of 1942
@@michaelusswisconsin6002 Depends on the time period. American ships were only just getting radar - and only for main guns - in 1941. Before 1943 most American ships weren't practiced at night fighting and/or radar gunnery. The Japanese navy was more adept at fighting at night up until then. Late war, even the Americans weren't using radar control for most of their AA guns on ships. Where they did better than the Japanese was by using a sector format for AA work, whereby the guns would fire in groups and were assigned sectors by the gunnery controllers. They didn't fvck about trying to engage individual aircraft. They simply fired set patterns into the sectors they were told to. It was more efficient for defensive fire against mass attack. The Japanese, in contrast, never moved away from AA batteries trying to engage area groups and range and individual targets in close. It simply didn't work in practice against mass attacks.
@@travissmith5945 Only for the Iowas, and also the North Carolinas, and the South Dakotas... So every new built battleship produced by the US. Montana was not built as opposition to Yamato. It was to be built as opposition to US 16inch super heavy shells. Doctrine was to provide sufficient defense to provide an immune zone to the ships own class of fire. Iowas spent displacement on speed. Montana was going to spend displacement for additional turret and protection against its own shells. The US was unaware of the scale of Yamato or the existence of the 18inch guns.
Musashi was build on a different wharf (Nagasaki ). I believe the Yamato model stands on what used to be the slipway where the original was build. And Shinano was build on a 3rd wharf ( Yokosuka), apparentley building these huge ships takes a lot of space.
16.1 in gun from the Mutsu. The Mutsu blew itself up in 1943 at Anchorage South of Kure, Japan. Japanese tried to use the same excuse as the US Navy did with the USS Iowa explosion, a disgruntled seaman. However, battleships blowing up was nothing new in Naval History.
Very late war A6M7-63 Zero fighter serial 82729 made in May 1945 as a fighter bomber in a way to try to stretch the usefulness of the Zero's hopelessly outdated design. Was ditched into Lake Biwa on August 9, 1945 (the same day the the Atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki--Hiroshima was bombed August 6) on a test flight after a repair. The pilot, a Lt. survived the accident and became a General in the Japanese Self Defense Force.
It was sunk by US Navy aircraft during the battle of Okinawa. It was on basically a suicide mission and was sunk south of the island of Kyushu. The wreck was found back in the 1980's.
Sadly the Japanese took it out to suicide it against the American forces off Okinawa and it got hammered so hard it turtled and blew up and is now an underwater reef. But in other news it was recovered, repaired and flies around in Space blowing things up.
@@jacqueschouette7474 That was the "official" story. In truth nobody knows what happened to yamato. Rumors say that it went through some kind of time anomaly similar to bermuda triangle that sended her into the future.
You think Germany has no military museums? You might want to crawl out of your well and see the world. No need to remain ignorant till the bell tolls for you.
Was für ein Bullshit. Natürlich gibt es so etwas in Deutschland, es gibt unzählige Militär Museen mit Fokus auf den 2. Weltkrieg wo erstaunliche Maschinen des 3. Reichs und auch die Leben einzelner einflussreicher Militärfiguren aus jener Zeit dessen Namen nicht mit den Schandtaten des 3. Reichs in Verbindung stehen ausgestellt werden. Denn es ist nichts verwerflich daran diese Maschinen und in Teilen das Geschick, den Mut und die Willenskraft der Menschen aus diesem Krieg zu bewundern, ganz unabhängig davon ob diese Menschen im Sinne unserer heutigen Ideale und Werte gekämpft haben oder nicht. Außerdem kann man die Verantwortung für die grässlichen Vorstellungen der NS- Führung nicht blind Millionen von Individuen einfach aufbinden. Die Welt ist leider weitaus komplizierter. Trotzdem ist Aufklärung wichtig, etwas wofür man die Japaner in weiten Teilen zwar kritisieren kann, doch im Internationalen Kontext sind die genauso gut dran mit Aufklärung wie der Rest der Welt und zwar mit viel Platz nach oben. Die Amis, Briten oder Franzosen sind dort kein Stück besser, Deutschland ist da einer der wenigen die dort gute Arbeit leistet.

It ’s amazing that there are submarines in the city.
There is a Uboat that the US captured off the coast of Africa in 1944 in Chicago
but not in the sky

The Mutsu was fitted with the massive 41 centimetres guns that weigh about 109,000 kg. Quite a,heavyweight indeed! Would love to see this museum ❤
The ill fated Mutsu had 16.1" guns. Yamato was equipped with larger 18.1" guns. The Iowa Class BB had 16" guns.
i got to see both of these museum's both are very interesting.
Would have loved to see Yamo let off a salvo. Just be standing there and to hear the sound of her massive artillery
That was impressive.
Thank you for making the video. She was a proud ship and one of many symbols of a proud nation of honorable people.

Thanks. That was interesting.
There's also now a full size replica of yamato that is on display its really quite something
It was an April Fools.
I think they should instead make 10x size of yamato replica, so it would be easier to see all the details.

Is the train station music still the theme from Uchuu Senkan Yamato?
Also did Yamato Museum Zero (One that specially made as one of (presumed, many) Leiji Matsumoto museums raised throughout Japan ) still there in Kure?
Absolutely AWESOME👍🚢👍

I mean after WWII a lot of Japanese ships were sunk from testing or just the overwhelming power of the US Navy.

Only for the iowa. The planned design of the Montana class exceeded the Panama canal due to them being built to directly oppose the yamatos

Credit to the Japanese for honoring the men and machines lost in war.
where is the wave-motion-gun though? lol
Here me out, we make the model one big rc.
Let's get some rc planes to scale and sink it again!! Lol.
