Thank you so much for everyone help on this one! I really appreciate learning about different countries, especially their militaria! Would you all say this is a rare flag ?

Hello Friends! I came across this flag, I believe it to be a Japanese naval retired officer regiment flag. It's a bit rough but what do you expect? (haha!) Can someone please help with the translation of the hand written part? I assume it is the city or something. A admin friend will be uploading photos shortly!.. Thanks so much!
