After a brief meeting in the morning over breakfast, we departed our hotel. I dropped in on my way back home to a port nearby because I knew that it had been historically important place. There had been a base for the Navy until the end of WW-II. I had no idea how the place looked like and was partly surprised when I spotted a number of military (more precisely, the self-defense force) ships in the port. There were however few items in the museum which reminded us of the past. I was bewildered slightly.

These storehouses are among the oldest in Japan

The port is now calm with only a few ships operated by the self-defense force
