Toyama Shinko Port (also called Toyama New Port) has a major tourist attraction in the Kaiwo Maru (海王丸) museum ship brought here in July 1992.
ka102-20220607-0029.jpg
Kaiwo Maru was built in 1930 as an officer training ship for Japan's merchant marine. Its sister ship was the original Nippon Maru sailing ship also built in 1930 as a training ship. Kaiwo Maru was retired in 1989 and replaced by a new Kaio Mar
ka103-20220607-0035.jpg
The Kaiwo Maru was launched on Feb. 14, 1930, Valentine's Day, so people have associated the ship with love. Yumi Katsura Lover's Sanctuary Monument and Kaiwo Maru in the background.
