Yumihari Park — Attraction in Sasebo

This is a mountain near the center of Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. I was stationed at the US Navy base here in the late 1980s to early 90s in charge of the Marine Security Detachment. Now I visit here 3~4 times a year to conduct western style weddings at the luxury resort hotel near the top of the mountain.

Plenty of parking , I went in August so I would suggest bringing mosquito spray if you plan on walking in the other areas beside...
