Pearl Sea Resort is the easy way into Kujukushima, the island-studded coast west of Sasebo. Large sightseeing boats loop through the channels, while smaller cruises get closer to the low green islands and oyster rafts. It is a popular family stop, but the scenery is genuinely good, especially when the light drops toward sunset.
