Nagazaki > Sasebo > Fukuoka

[ArmandV]

In April, I plan to visit Kyushu for the first time. Part of the plan is to visit Nagasaki and from there to Fukuoka via Sasebo. En route, I'd like to make a stop at the Saikai Bridge to take a few few pictures.

Does anyone know if there is a train or bus line between Nagasaki and Sasebo that goes to the bridge? I haven't been able to find anything in my guidebooks.

Access to Saikai Bridge by bus is very difficult.
By a train,
HUIS TEN BOSCH Station is near, but takes 20 minutes by car from there.
Referentially it is nine states of local bus route time schedule search sites

I did some more digging last night and found that there is a bus (Saihi) that goes to the bridge from Sasebo station. Thanks for your assist.

ArmandV-san:wave:
In this trip, do not you see the sights in Beppu and Yufuin?
Aso of Kumamoto?
Unzen of Nagasaki?

^I am still in the planning stages. I was considering Beppu but that's a little out of my way as I will be on the other end of Kyushu for the most part. Anything exciting that I should consider?

In the beginning of April,
Because a cherry tree begins to be scattered in Kyushu, photography of a cherry tree is difficult.
April 3, 2006 was flowering of a cherry tree in North Kyushu.
Cherry blossoms are scattered in around 2 weeks.
ITTUSHINGYO SAKURA of Aso is famous.
