    Saga Pref. Sagashi Matsubara 2-10-43
    "Located around 25 minutes' drive from the Saga Yamato Interchange of the Nagasaki Expressway, Saga-jinja Shrine is dedicated to Nabeshima Naomasa, the 10th lord of the Saga domain, and Nabeshima Naohiro, the 11th lord. Nabeshima Naomasa created Japan's first reverberatory furnace for use in manufacturing large cannon, and is famous for his contribution towards ending Japan's self-isolation from the world in the early modern era; in recognition of his achievements, Saga-jinja Shrine was designated as an Imperial Shrine of Special Status. He has been deified as a god of culture, transportation and learning. It is said that if you pray at all eight individual shrines located within Saga-jinja Shrine's precincts, starting with Matsubara Shrine that is dedicated to the Nabeshima family's ancestors, then your wish will come true. At midnight on New Year's Day morning, a ""Cannon Salute Ceremony"" is held at which a historic cannon is fired eight times to mark the New Year."

    This Shinto shrine, located near Saga prefecture office, is dedicated to Nabeshima family, leader of Samurais, which governed Saga area before Meiji restoration. Like many other shrines, the entrance...

    Saga Saga-shi Yokamachi 2-50
    The shrine is said to have been founded in the reign of Emperor Kinmei, and its deity is Toyotamahime-no-mikoto, the grandmother of Emperor Jinmu, who is said to be the princess of the Dragon Palace. The 1,400-year-old camphor tree is designated as a natural monument of the prefecture.

    ６世紀に造立されたと伝わる地域でも最古級の神社です。肥前鳥居と石造反橋は国の重要文化財でこれも造られてから400年近いそう。鍋島氏以前の戦国大名にも崇められていた神社はその格を感じる境内でした。

    Saga Saga-shi Kawaharamachi

    佐賀藩最後の藩主・鍋島直大が戊辰戦争の戦死者を祀ったことに端を発し、佐賀の乱などの戦死者も合祀している神社。当時、招魂社は東京、京都、秋田にしか存在しなかった。大きな鳥居が東向きと南向きの両方に建っており、威厳を感じます。

    Saga Saga-shi Kawasoemachi Hayatsuetsu 399-3

    三重津海軍所の近くです。道は狭いですが、この神社自体にも車で行けます。由来を読むと福岡市の志賀島にある志賀神社から来ているものでした。意外な発見でした。

    Saga Saga-shi Morodomicho Odo

    周囲は静かな田園が広がる場所に弘安２年（1279年）に創始されたと伝えられる歴史ある神社。 銅造の鳥居、石橋、立ち唐獅子とタイムスリップしたかのような雰囲気に包まれた感じがしました。 銅造鳥居は佐賀唯一で島原の乱に出陣した際、戦勝祈願成就に寄進した鳥居です。 鳥居左柱には銘が刻まれてます。

Saga Areas

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.
