Preserved in seaside Mikasa Park, this historic vessel served as the flagship of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō during Japan's pivotal victory at the 1905 Battle of Tsushima. As the only remaining pre-dreadnought battleship in the world, it offers an extraordinary window into early 20th-century maritime engineering and naval combat. Visitors can explore the original decks, examine imposing artillery shells and torpedoes, and discover immersive multimedia exhibits detailing its dramatic history and postwar restoration. It is an unmissable stop for military history buffs and curious travelers exploring Tokyo Bay.
