Kujūku Islands, Island group in Saikai National Park, Japan
The Kujūku Islands comprise 208 islands scattered along the Nagasaki Prefecture coast, forming intricate patterns of small landmasses within the blue waters.
The islands played a strategic role during World War II when Sasebo served as a military port, leading to the establishment of naval installations across the region.
The Sasebo Morning Market near the islands demonstrates local fishing traditions, offering fresh catches and seasonal produce from the surrounding waters and farms.
Visitors can access the islands through regular ferry services from Sasebo City, with boats departing multiple times daily between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
Despite the name Kujūku meaning 99 in Japanese, the archipelago actually contains 208 islands, with only four of them maintaining permanent resident populations.
