Yamato Museum, Kure, Japan, April 8, 2012
Just 25 minutes by local train from Hiroshima is the city of Kure. It is an industrial city with several ship yards. It has been so for many years, and many of the battleships that participated in WWII were build here.
To commemorate this great legacy within ship building the city has build an almost new museum (2005) that covers both the pre-war and WWII period but also modern day ship industry.
By far the best thing to see at the museum is the incredible, beautifully made 1:10 (!) scale model of the Battleship Yamato. Some other things from WWII can also be seen at the museum, such as a Zero fighter and a Long Lance type 95 torpedo.
The video contains still pictures and HD video from the museum. As I had only 1 hour for the museum (way too little time), I only managed to cover the WWII stuff.
You may want to check out the website of the museum:
Note that just 3 minutes' walk from the museum is the museum for the JMSDF (Japanese Navy).

Japan Naval Base at Kure Harbor, Honshu in Ruins
Japan's naval base at Kure Harbor, Honshu, was bombed by U.S. naval carrier planes under the command of Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr..
After the War the Americans saw first hand how much damage had been done to the Imperial Navy. Shipyards, ships and factories were destroyed. You'll notice the racist description of the Japanese as Nips in this gloating newsreel. A sign of the times.
