Inside the former Kure Naval Station commander's residence

An on-location look at Irifuneyama Memorial Museum, the former official residence of the commander-in-chief at Kure Naval Station.

Notes

Irifuneyama Memorial Museum occupies the former official residence of the commander-in-chief of Kure Naval Station. The house hosted many visitors and important conversations, some of them at moments of decision. Walking through the rooms gives the naval station's senior command a physical setting. The comparison with British historic houses focuses on the sense of accumulated history inside the building. This visit follows a stop at the Yamato Museum annex during a day devoted to Kure's museums.
