CANADA: Lots more available (looks like the bulk is in Saskatchewan and Alberta)
MEXICO: has a little more added along highways
USA:
More shots in Alaska
(there’s surely a lot more updates than that, but that’s what I saw so far)

The ship is listed as ‘LST’ or ‘Landing Ship, Tank’ but you’ll note the strong similarity to a small carrier or a carrier for an amphibious force. The Japanese Constitution forbids the construction of aircraft carriers, so this type of ship end up falling into strange categories.
Gundam, Lifesize

A group of Japanese enthusiasts worked to create a mobile suit of Gundam armor. I’ve seen still pictures of it while they were apparently getting it to move, but have never seen a video. Eventually, the creation was donated to this rest stop to sit under its own pavillion.

There’s also a Yushio class training submarine that is based at Kure, but the numeric probability indicates it’s an active Harushio class diesel-powered attack submarine.

The Akishio was a Yushio class diesel-electric attack submarine. It was commissioned in March, 1986 and decommissioned in 2004. It’s 76.2 meters long and 9.9 meters in beam. It could make 20 knots submerged and carried a crew of 75.
