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.
