Panoramic views of the 99 islands from Ishidake observatory

In the afternoon, we had decided to take a drive🚙 to Ishidake (石岳) viewpoint, Sasebo. Ishidake is a scenic mountain in Saikai National Park where you can see the various islands floating in Sasebo Bay🌊 

This place is also known as the filming location for the famous Hollywood movie "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise🎥

We parked a car in front of Sasebo city zoo🐈and go up to the top of the mountain🌄

After that we went to the second view point on the opposite side. From here, you can see the awesome view of the many small islands in front of you😊
