－About the Spots－

Sasebo Heavy Industries (aka SSK)
A shipbuilding company that took over the facilities of the Sasebo Naval Arsenal of the former Imperial Japanese Navy. Many of the old facilities still stand: docks, cranes, a machinery factory, the former mould loft, and more. A 250-ton crane (a giant cantilever crane) that is a component property designated as a Cultural Heritage is also visible. It is an extremely rare crane that was imported from the UK in 1913 is still in use today.

Kogo Zaki
Kogo Zaki is a cape at the only entrance to Sasebo Port that is just 900 meters wide. Sasebo was chosen to be one of Japan's four naval districts during the Meiji Period because the port, with the naval facilities and ships, could not be seen from the open sea. Kogo Zaki remains the port's only entrance to this day.

Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)
JMSDF vessels are docked at Tategami Wharf and Kurashima Wharf. Various vessels, such as Aegis ships and minesweepers, are also moored in the port.
