Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Sasebo Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with others, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Explore Saruku City 4○3 Arcade, a lively shopping street filled with local shops and restaurants. Continue to Nagushiyama Park for beautiful views of the Kujukushima Islands and seasonal azaleas.

Next, visit Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort, where you can enjoy the waterfront scenery and optional attractions at your own expense.

Choose between two tour durations. The 4-hour tour returns directly to Sasebo Port, while the 6-hour tour includes an additional stop at Funakoshi Observatory for panoramic island views.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. An English digital guidebook and audio guide are provided before the tour. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.
