Mietsu Naval Dock, in Saga
Before Meiji Restoration, the Mietsu Naval Dock served as a venue for naval drilling
and maintenance of Western-style ship, as the naval base of Saga Clan. Japan’s first
practical steam ship, the Ryofu-maru was constructed there in 1865.
The site has been registered on UNESCO World Heritage, Site of Japan’s Meiji
Industrial Revolution.
