    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。

    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."

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.
