Saiki Ko
Saiki Ko plunges you
into the heart of Japan's industrial center. The port bustles with activity, but don't
let that fool you. This city offers hidden gems for curious sailors. While
shopping caters more to industrial supplies, venture outside the port for a
glimpse into Japanese culture. Explore the Saiki City Museum for a fascinating look
at local history, or visit the Saiki Hachiman Shrine, a beautiful example of traditional
architecture. For a taste of land after days at sea, savor delicious ramen at a
local eatery or delve into regional specialties like chicken sukiyaki. Nightlife
might be limited, but you might find a friendly izakaya (pub) where you can
unwind with fellow sailors over beers and grilled yakitori.
