Nagasaki Prefectural Saikaibashi Park
Spanning across Sasebo City and Saikai City in Nagasaki Prefecture, this park boasts the iconic Saikaibashi bridge.
The view at Saikaibashi Park is super open! You can see both the old and new Saikaibashi bridges at the same time—so impressive!

Meigetsudo "Hakata Torimon"
"Hakata Dontaku" is a festival held on May 3 and 4 every year, during which the city bustles with people. The people who parade around in Dontaku costumes, playing the shamisen, flutes and drums are called "Torimon" in the Hakata dialect, and the name "Hakata Torimon" is derived from this.
I really like white bean paste, but this was a bit too sweet for me. So I bought some as souvenirs and had them with tea for an afternoon snack. My coworkers loved them!

Nikko Toshogu
Nikko Toshogu is a shrine dedicated to the Edo shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. It is the most visited spot within the World Heritage Site “Shrines and Temples of Nikko,” and here you can see 55 exceptional buildings, including 8 that have been designated as national treasures and 34 that have been designated as Important Cultural Properties.
Walking through the main gate of Toshogu Shrine, I was blown away by the magnificent architecture. As one of Japan’s most famous shrines, the traditional Japanese style, the golden rooftops, and the intricate carvings are truly stunning. Visiting other spots here, you can really feel the deep historical and cultural significance.
