She was one of the many ships of the Mutsuki-class to receive extensive refits. She was refitted three newer boilers, allowing the downsizing of her aft stack (her sister-ship Yayoi had a similar refit and downsizing of her forward stack). Most of her sister-ships also lost one or two main guns for up to a dozen AA guns.
