Sasebo Port

 

Sasebo Port is mostly a new redevelopment that seamlessly integrates the port facilities with the number one Japanese pastime of shopping.

Several ferry terminals primarily service the Goto Islands but also a few of the smaller, closer islands, as well as offering port cruises.

The Japanese Navy, called the Marine Self Defence Force, has a presence as does the US Navy.

While travelling around Japan I sometimes meet people who try to speak English to me, presuming me to be a visitor. In Sasebo almost everyone I talked with spoke good English.... a byproduct of the US base I suspect.

I also had the best Mexican food I have ever had in Japan in Sasebo... another byproduct methinks
