About VR Battleship YAMATO
Full Scale Restoration of the Japanese battleship “Yamato” in VR.
Battleship Yamato was constructed during the World War Ⅱ in 1941, and it was the biggest battleship ever built. Unfortunately, Yamato didn’t last through the war, and it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Now, battleship Yamato is completely restored in full scale in VR. It is based on the blueprints and the recollections of the actual crew who are still alive.
In this app, you can actually get on Yamato and walk across the deck, climb up the bridge, and go inside the ship.
See the Yamato crew taking command. View the explosions of the gun fire from a close distance.
The list below shows what you can actually see in the first edition of VR Yamato.
・Deck
・Inside the first bridge
・Inside the main gun
・Scene of the crew practicing firing the gun
・Fire control center
・Captain’s cabin
・Pilot house
・Hangar
・Ship’s kitchen
With VR Yamato, enjoy the battleship from the perspective of an actual crew.

Wow. I have just been through the entire visit. It was impressive and well worth the money. You would pay that to visit an old battleship and now I can do it from home AND I was the guest of honour by the Admiral. A great experience. I am glad that I bought it.2 found this helpful
A faithful tribute to one of the greatest battleships in history. I'm really glad I could experience this. I've been on real battleship tours, but this showed a little more than you'd see on one of those. Plus you get to see it in open waters in all its glory for a moment as you first sail towards it to board. Nothing beats a real-life WWII-era ship museum, but this is all we'll ever have of the Yamato.
Was a nightmare to get working but i figured it out with the help of wayback machine and obscure japanese tech guides on dead links. I have made a guide for anyone who has the same issues as me getting this to work. As for the game itself its truly amazing to actually witness just how large the Yamato really was. You get to go all over the ship in a guided tour from the kitchens to plane hangers to the captains quarters and the towers! seeing how it all worked is quite something, makes you realise that the whole ship only ran because of very complex machinery that required up to 4 people per part all communicating with everyone else via chain of command. Really makes you appreciate the complexities of such a ship. It wasn't just a 'big guns go boom' kinda deal there was a lot more to it then that. If you have ever wanted to walk around a WW2 era battleship or in particular the yamato i can recommend this game.
No any discount during sales.
I can't say it any better what others who have purchased this virtual tour of the famous IJN battleship Yamato. This VR tour can be a benchmark for others to follow as an example of a very well-made simulation. Well done Kanda Technologies. I hope you decide to do another project like this one.
To all facing VR controller issues: try alt-tabbing while in game and then see if the buttons work again Review: top-notch and also potentially very emotional experience. Goes through all the technical and historical life details a nerd would enjoy. Sadly missing the engine compartment though, but the going through of the armament systems and firing procedure is superb. 9/10 virtual museum experience
