You can see some naval ships incuding submarines even through the bus window so unless you have plenty time to kill or you want to take pictures, not necessary to get off the local bus. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, Kure loop bus leaves Kure JR Station and comes back.If you do not get off, you pay only USD1.60 per one ride. On week days, if you get off USD4 would be needed.

This area provides a small narrow park next to the road. It features wonderful vistas of naval vessels, including several active(?) submarines; other facilities such as drydocks are nearby. It is accessible by bus from the Kure station.
