Things to do in Sasebo

I came here after watching Detective Conan. It feels like a small Dutch town, very relaxed, without the crowds of TDL/S or USJ, and you don't need to rush to any attractions. It's just nice to stroll around quietly. There are many hotels here, making it suitable for overnight stays. There's a light show at night, and if you're lucky, there's even a fireworks display.

Enjoyed the breathtaking view of nagasaki, and kujukushima island

There is a scenic area called Kujiu Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Ninety-nine Island is actually located in the waters about 25 kilometers outside the port of Sasebo in Nagasaki. There are 208 islands, large and small, of which only four are inhabited, while the others are uninhabited islands. The best way to see Ninety-Nine Island is to look at the observation deck on the mountain. Unfortunately, it was overcast and the scenery was compromised. The other way to visit the island is to take a sightseeing boat, but when I arrived it was the February off-season, no boat, unfortunately.

We had a wonderful day at the zoo and aquarium! The zoo isn't very big, but the animals seem happy. The aquarium is impressive, especially the jellyfish dome. The only downside is that the turtles seem a bit cramped...

There are more than 240 islands of various sizes around Sasebo City, but for the sake of image, they are named Kujuku Islands, which feels like the Thousand Islands Lake in Hangzhou. The best place to view these islands is Zhanhai Peak. You can take a look at the appearance of Kujuku Islands at Zhanhai Peak.

Kujukushima Zoological and Botanical Garden Mori Kira is a zoological and botanical garden located on a hill overlooking Kujukushima. Some 64 species (230 items) are on display, including giraffes, beavers and lions, which are very popular with children. The Penguin Pavilion has Japan's largest ceiling aquarium and Japan's first ultra-shallow aquarium. In addition, Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort is a seaside resort where you can fully enjoy the nature of Kujukushima. Take the sightseeing ships "Kujukushima Sightseeing Ship Pearl Queen" and "Kujukushima Pirate Sightseeing Ship Mirai" to see the Kujukushima Islands up close.

I walked there from Sasebo Station. There is a US naval facility nearby, so you can feel that it is a military port. Not far from the US military facility is the Sail Tower. Admission is free, and the history from the end of the Edo period to the Self-Defense Forces is introduced with a large amount of materials. Personally, the materials from the Showa period before the Pacific War were very valuable and made the situation at that time feel more realistic. There is a souvenir corner on the first floor, where navy curry and other items are sold.
