Kure was an agricultural and fishing village, but did form a part of Japanese history. And when Kure Naval District Headquarters was established in 1889, Kure started to flourish as a naval port city. Many spots in Kure have stories behind and many people well known in Japan wrote an important page in the history of Kure.
