    Opened as a burial ground for soldiers of the former Japan Imperial Navy in 1890, it is now a cemetery that is being maintained as Nagasako Park. In the park are numerous tombstones and monuments erected before the war, including a memorial with the names of those who died with the sinking of the battleship, Yamato. The park is also famous as the setting for the war film, Yamato, which was released in 2005. Take the bus from Kure Station and get off at the Nagasakocho bus stop.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
