Saikai National Park

Saikai National Park
From the Tenkaiho Observatory of Sasebo, one can see the beautiful ninety-nine outlying islands.
Sometimes when we stop planning for things to happen, surprises and joys come our way in more way than one! On this day in Sasebo, an accidental stop, I ended up visiting a national park, an amazing aquarium and had the best dolphin shots in recent years! So many wonders... relax and simply enjoy!
Top of 99 Islands Lookout, overlooking the Kujukushima Islands of Sakai National Park. This is where the beginning scenes of the movie "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise was filmed. Its about a 15 minute drive from Sasebo or about 45 minute-1 hour walk. It's a perfect destination to take in the sunset.

9/10 Wonderful! (710 reviews)
This hotel was one of my favourite hotel. Room was cozy, nice, tidy and modern. They had washer and dryer so i could do the laundry. There's paid vehicle parking at a discounted rate in the multi-storey carpark beside the hotel. There's a nice small japanese restaurant beside the hotel on the ground floor that sells excellent grilled Saba fish and unagis. It's a nice walkable distance to the nearby shopping street with alot of food there as well.
