Sasebo
Sasebo, Japan, offers a
vibrant atmosphere for weary sailors. The bustling port bustles with activity,
and you might even catch a glimpse of US Navy vessels docked nearby. Explore
the unique architecture of the Yokobose (横瀬) district, or visit the
fascinating Kyushu Kachoen (九州華頂園) – a sprawling garden
filled with vibrant flowers and bonsai trees. Shopping options abound in Sasebo, from the Sasebo Minato
(佐世保みなと) arcades with local shops and restaurants to
the Huis
Ten Bosch (ハウステンボス) theme park for a touch
of Dutch flair. Craving a hearty meal? Head to the "Gunkan
Yokosuka (軍艦横須賀)" restaurant
for delicious Japanese curry or grab a burger at the "Sasebo Burger" joint, a
local favorite. Nightlife in Sasebo is anything but low-key. Explore the "Honmachi (本町)" district with its lively bars and pubs where you can unwind with fellow
sailors over drinks and karaoke, or catch a live music performance at "Club
Junk Box."
