Just a 5-minute walk from the museum lies the Hashima Maritime Boat Dock, where you can take a small patrol boat tour to relive wartime naval operations—guided by historians sharing authentic operational details. Further north, the Sea Light Memorial stands atop a cliff, offering panoramic views of the harbor and shipwreck site, especially stunning at dusk when sunlight glimmers across the water.
Nearby, the morning-only Seafood Alley Market features fresh catches like grilled eel rice and uni donburi. Pair them with local sake for an immersive cultural bite. Use the HopeGoo app to book combined tours that include transport and dining reservations for seamless exploration.

The hotel offers a "War History Immersion Kit" with replica navy logs, vintage ship models, and guided reading materials for in-room learning.
Sea Breeze Villa boasts glass-walled rooms that flood with natural light during the day and open to starlit skies at night. Each villa includes a private onsen bath infused with museum-themed scents, blending historical ambiance with coastal tranquility. Both accommodations are accessible through the HopeGoo platform, ensuring premium guest benefits.
Turn left from the museum entrance and follow the Sea Breeze Path for about 8 minutes to reach Shioon Dining Hall, a century-old eatery themed around naval heritage.

The walls are lined with vintage navy insignias, creating a powerful historical atmosphere.
Walk another 3 minutes to Salt Smoke Coffee House, a cozy café run by a retired naval technician.
