Yumiharidake Observatory
Towering from the western side of central Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture, Mt. Yumihari rises to an elevation of 364 meters and offers one of Sasebo’s most stunning panoramic views. Make your way to the summit for a view out over Sasebo Port, a common port for massive cruise ships and Japan Self-Defense Force vessels to anchor, plus the glittering cityscape nestled around the bay. Looking westward, the horizon stretches out to the Goto-nada Sea and the scattered islands of the Kujuku Islands, creating a breathtaking coastal vista.
This is the perfect spot to take in amazing views of Sasebo City and the Kujuku Islands!

Kushimoto Marine Park
Opened in 1970 as Japan’s first marine park, Kushimoto Marine Park is home to its iconic Undersea Observation Tower, which stands 140 meters offshore. From the observation deck, visitors can watch the unusual sight of hundreds of largescale blackfish gathering in search of food and admire the colorful coral reefs covering the seabed 6.3 meters below the surface.
There are lots of sea turtles, and you can get really close to them. It's not a huge place, but I learned a lot.

Sandanbeki Rock Cliff
Sandanbeki is a 2-km long craggy rock cliff that towers 50 meters above the sea. In the past, fishermen would call this place “midan”, a lookout point for passing ships and schools of fish, but the point has gradually become known as “Sandanbeki” over time. The rockface is pummeled by the Kuroshio Current, creating for a view that’s bound to impress you.
The naturally weathered cliffs and the sunset views are absolutely stunning. The air is really fresh, so it feels super relaxing.
