The Yamato Museum reopened here on April 23 following year-long renovations to bring the behemoth World War II battleship closer to real life based on the latest research.
The museum modified its centerpiece, a one‑10th scale model of the battleship, the largest in the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet, in more than a dozen areas by taking cues from an underwater survey of the wreckage.
