Facing the Sea of Japan, Maizuru Port is a natural fine harbor surrounded by beautiful rias coastlines and has developed as a key maritime transport hub since ancient times. Now an international port where large cruise ships call, the view created by the vast sea and mountains is stunning. As it hosts a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force base, the sightseeing boat tours allowing close-up views of giant destroyers are powerful and highly popular among military fans. This energetic tourist spot lets you simultaneously experience the port's vitality, beautiful coastal scenery, and modern Japanese naval defense.
