The area of present-day Sasebo was a small fishing village under the control of nearby Hirado Domain until shortly after the start of the Meiji period. Sasebo Naval District, founded in 1886, became the major port for the Japanese navy in its operations in the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War, and remained a major naval base to the end of World War II.

Yatsushiro is a city located in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is the second largest city in the prefecture after Kumamoto City.
Yatsushiro is known locally for several products and dishes. The banpeiyu fruit bears a resemblance to hugely oversized grapefruits. Karashi Renkon is a specialty which is a lotus root stuffed in a mustard-like sauce called karashi. Basashi is raw horse meat and is considered a delicacy within Japan. It is often served with onion and ginger.
The city's landmarks include the ruins of Yatsushiro Castle (now part of a shinto shrine) and the often overlooked port area that offers magnificent views of the nearby Amakusa islands, Yatsuhiro Sea, and the local paper factory.
777 steps built in the nearby mountains can give you a panoramic view of the town and the coastal areas.
The main shopping area, the honmachi, is a covered arcade that runs for several city blocks.

Kagoshima lies at the top of the Satsuma Peninsula, on the island of Kyushu, Japan. The city’s port is situated along the coast of Kinko Bay. Kagoshima has mild climate, streets with palm trees and is dominated by Sakura Jima, an active volcano which every now and then dumps fine ash and obscures the sun like fog, creating a mythical and captivating landscape. It is a historical city and home of the mythical samurai Saigo Takamori, the most influential samurai in Japanese history that played a major role in the Satsuma Rebellion.

Nagasaki is located on a large valley on the island of Kyushu in Japan. It is a beautiful harbor city that can be explored on foot.
