SASEBU, FUKUOKA and KURE On our return to Yokosuka following the second exercise, we stopped briefly at Sasebo, Fukuoka and Kure. Since these ports are so close together and our stay was so brief, vve grouped them together on one page. SASEBO was the center of military activities during the Korean confilct and is, therefore, a tried and true liberty port for American sailors. The city boasts a fine shopping area, many clubs and cabarets and ten thousand taxi cabs. FUKUOKA, with a population of 400,000, is the most prosperous city on the island of Kyushu. The Naka River divides the city into Hakata on the east and Fukuoka proper on the west. Hakata is the commercial and amusement center while Fukuoka, the former castle town of the Kuroda family, is the administrative center. KURE is located in western Honshu, i5 miles south of Hiroshima. Its access to Hiroshima, the site of the first atomic attack, and Eta Jima, the site of the Imperial Japanese Naval College, makes it an interesting port to visit. Kure is the headquarters of the British Commonwealth Forces in Japan. Fleet Landing, Sasebo Fleet C??D Landing, Fukuoka Sportfishing. l Sightseeing At night, Haggarty? Kokusui Hotel, Fukuoka.
