戦車チハ is an outdoor display of a Japanese Type 97 “Chi-Ha” tank in Oarai—great for gritty wartime-history photography. Shoot the full tank for mass and silhouette, then move for close-ups of rust, rivets, and stenciled markings. Visit on clear mornings or late afternoon for side-light that carves out texture; weekday hours reduce crowds. Parking is usually available near the site, but confirm on arrival.
