Kyushu and Okinawa

Saikai National Park

PIXTA

Saikai National Park is located in the northwestern part of Kyushu and features an archipelago of more than 400 islands of various sizes, stretching from Kujuku Islands in Sasebo to Ikitsuki and Hirado Islands, and then to the Goto Islands. Visitors can enjoy a variety of coastal landscapes, such as the micro-islands and dendritic drowned valley topography of the Kujuku Islands, the columnar-jointed sea cliffs of the Ikitsuki and Hirado Islands, and the sea cliffs and oceanic archipelago landscape represented by Osezaki in the Goto Islands. Diverse ecosystems have been formed in response to these various landforms. Seaweed beds have developed in the shallow waters and tidal flats have developed in the inner part of the bay, providing a cradle for rare species. On land, secondary forests of oak trees, wild grasslands, and rocky outcrops can be seen, while the vegetation is diverse, ranging from continental and warm-water species to endemic species. The area is also noted for the large migrations of bears to the west and red-bellied dolphins to the south in autumn. The history and culture of the former continent, the Nanban trade, the history and culture of Christians in hiding under the banned religion, the former Japanese Navy, and the fortress ruins of the Sasebo township are also highlights of the area.
