  • 1 International Village Youth House, Sasebo City (90-minute train ride on the Seaside Liner from Nagasaki Station). A very large hostel that looks a bit like an American college dorm complex with a gym, a cafeteria, and a couple of fields. It's a good base for exploring the Nagasaki-Sasebo-Hus Ten Bosch area. Right next to Huis Ten Bosch. Lots of rooms, all private (1-4 people per room), from ¥2625 per person per night.
