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.
