Sasebo Kujukushima Islands and Huis Ten Bosch Course

Sasebo is a port town in northern Nagasaki that pairs a scenic sea dotted with countless small islands with a large theme park recreating Dutch streets. On this course you enjoy sea scenery from a Kujukushima sightseeing boat in the morning, then a world of flowers and lights at Huis Ten Bosch from afternoon into night. It is a luxurious plan that offers both nature and a foreign mood in one day.
