The Sasebo Naval Port Cruise is hugely popular for the chance to experience the history of a naval port that was operational in Sasbo during the Meiji Period. This is a tour to see major sights from the sea, including the Red Brick Warehouses and Hario Transmission Station, both of which are designated as Japan Heritage Sites, as well as Coast Guard and Maritime Self Defence Force vessels and the US Navy base.
