All around Japan there are tons of toll roads. In the Sasebo area they have a toll road which stretches from the Fukuoka area down towards Sasebo. They just completed a section of the toll road which actually took the road all the way down into town by the main base. In true Japanese style they had an opening for the road so of course we had to go check it out.
It wouldn't be a toll road party without a goat to pet!
This Taiko group was so cool to watch!
Of course the boys were more interested in the puddle and getting dirty than watching the show. I would have thought though that maybe they would have been interested in loud drums but the puddle won out!
We were able to walk up the exit/entrance ramp and go up on the road.

View of Nimitz park from the top. Nimitz park is a military owned area which is generally open to the public. They have ball fields and a USO there plus an entrance to the Sasebo shopping arcade.
The Sasebo Burger Boy! The Sasebo burger is very famous here. It is a burger with egg and a few other weird things on it that the Japanese think are great! We can't wait to drive on the new road! It will probably cut out about 10-15 minutes from our commute to main base!
