Set Sail to the Islands of Kujukushima in Nagasaki
Kujukushima (translated as "99 Islands") National Park lies just off the coast of Sasebo in Nagasaki Prefecture. While the term "kujuku" can also mean vast or uncountable, there are actually 208 islands in the clear waters here. From thickly forested islets to rocky outcrops protruding from the sea, a cruise in this national park is a particularly picturesque experience.
There are actually closer to 200 verdant patches scattered along the coastline and while undeniably beautiful, their real charm only emerges at closer quarters. Head to the Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort for dolphin-watching kayaking or a choice of relaxing or uninhabited island cruises. Why not board a sunset cruise and snap the islands at their very best —the glittering on-water reflection means they resemble dark droplets in a sea of gold.
