I`ve visited old red brick buildings in Handa & Tsuruga, but this collection of buildings in Maizuru is much bigger. It was interesting - I like these kinds of places. Also, because Maizuru is a JMSDF (Japan Marine Self-Defense Force) port, you can see their ships nearby. If you`re into that kind of thing, you should visit Maizuru.

I saw on the news that the JMSF (Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force) boat `Oosumi` accidentally hit a fishing boat on Wednesday. Two people died.

I went on the Oosumi in 2010, when I was visiting Nagasaki. By chance, the Oosumi was there at that time, & it was an `open day` so anybody could go on & look around. It was a really interesting experience. However this news is sad.
