Sasebo City

www.sasebo99.com

All About Sasebo City: 208 large and small islands make up a pretty beautiful landscape that attracts countless visitors to the 99 islands of Sakai National Park. You can find flowers, sunshine, games, music and the reproduction of a 17-century Dutch street called Huis Ten Bosch. Since the government set up the navy in the Meiji Era, the result is a military port and shipyard bringing prosperity to the port city. The US military base brings rich history and international customs: all this adds to the charm of Sasebo.

What I like about Japan: Sasebo fostered its own culture while inspired by American culture. The attraction of the city is the food, like the Sasebo burger, is mixed with different cultures such as lemon steak, foreigner bars and a jazz festival. We also recommend trying fresh seafood such as Kujuku-jima oysters, torugu, naruto, Alaska shellfish, red mate shellfish, Nagasaki herb mackerel, Megumi aji, etc., which can be eaten on the nature-rich Kujuku Islands.
