Sasebo is perched in the northern region of Nagasaki Prefecture. The city was featured in the famous Hollywood film, The Last Samurai, released in 2003.

This observation point rises 191 meters (626.64 feet) above sea level, allowing you to view the panorama of the 208 mostly inhabited islands and azure waters. Tenkaiho is another observation deck to catch the arresting sight of the breathtaking group of islands and a bed of seasonal flowers. Sasebo is also known as the Japanese capital of burgers. While here, sampling the popular Sasebo burger is a must for gourmands and food lovers.
