While Mitsukojima Port itself caters to industrial activity, a short trip to Kure City unlocks a treasure trove of maritime history. Explore the immersive exhibits at the JMSDF Kure Museum, showcasing the legacy of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. History buffs can delve deeper at the Battleship Yamato Museum, dedicated to the famed World War II battleship. For a scenic escape, hike or bike along the picturesque trails of Mount  Kurahashi  Park, offering panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea. Foodies can savor fresh seafood dishes at harborside restaurants near the port, or venture into Kure City for a taste of local Japanese cuisine like okonomiyaki (savory pancake) or Hiroshima-style ramen. Nightlife options might be limited near the port itself, but Kure City offers a selection of pubs and restaurants perfect for unwinding with a drink.
