    Saga Pref. Sagashi Kawasoemachihayatsuetsu 446-1
    "A National Historic Site located in Hayatsuetsu Kawasoe-machi, Saga City. The site also makes up part of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining. Originally built as a shipbuilding training yard by the former Saga Domain in 1858, the site was used for Western style ship naval education and construction. The site contributed significantly to the modernization of Saga Domain at the end of the Edo period, including being used to build Japan's first practical steamship, the ""Ryofu-maru"". In the adjoining ""Tsunetami Sano Memorial Museum"", visitors can view VR exhibits and restored scale models."

    世界遺産「明治日本の産業革命」の構成資産、ドライドック跡で、佐賀市が自虐的に「みえないみえつ」と言っています。潮の満ち引きを利用して船を補修する施設なので、「見える」ように水を抜くとあっという間に劣化することから「見えない」状態で保存されており、逆にリアルに感じられました。VRやサラウンドビデオで施設の全体像が学習できます。案内施設で淹れていただいた佐賀さんのお茶が大変おいしかったです。

  • Udono Sekibutsu Buddhist Rock Carvings (Prefectural Historic Site)
    Travel / Tourism
    Saga Pref. Karatsushi Ouchichououchi
    "Located around 20 minutes' walk from Ouchi Station on the JR Karatsu Line, the Buddhist rock carvings of various sizes comprise a group of 60 or so Magaibutsu (Buddhist images carved into cliffs or caves) carved into a protruding cliff. The carvings have been designated as a Prefectural Historic Site by Saga Prefectural Government, and were also selected for inclusion in the ""New List of 100 Scenic Spots in Saga."" According to tradition, the first Buddhist carving on the site was made in a cave by Kobo Daishi in 806. That statue has not survived, and the cave subsequently collapsed, leaving only the inner wall. The surviving carvings appear to have been made during various different periods, from the Nanboku-cho period (in the 14th century) through to the Edo period (1603-1868). Several of the carvings-including a statute of 11-headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva , and statues of Vaisravana and Dhrtarastra, show a pronounced influence from Esoteric Buddhism."

    Saga Saga-shi Mitsusemura Sanze 993-4
    "A statue of the Bodhisattva Jizo enshrined in 1393. It has been famous since ancient times for its miraculous ability to heal beriberi, and it receives a steady stream of visitors throughout the year. People began to call it the ""Yamanaka Jizoson"" after Noda Saburo Oe Iefusa took up Zen training as a priest at Haseyama Kannon Zenji Temple and built the sanctuary at the site of his grandfather's residence in the mountains and enshrined the statue with a Buddhist ritual. Later on, it came to be called Kakke Jizoson. The Yamanaka Jizo Festival is held every year on July 24."

    日本近海の捕鯨についての詳細な歴史と具体的方法、鯨には全く捨てるところがない経済効果や、採った鯨にそれぞれ戒名があり、供養していたという貴重な情報がある施設です。是非、非捕鯨国の人にも見てほしいです。GWだったので、五月人形の特別展示がありましたが、ただの鎧兜だけでなく、御所の雛飾りなみのストーリー性のある五月人形飾り(幟も)でした。

Saga Areas

around-area-map

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
