    Saga Karatsu-shi Yobukocho Yobuko 1740-11

    唐津市呼子にある道の駅です。漁協が運営しているようなので厳密には道の駅ではないのでしょうが、地元の特産品を扱っている、という意味ではほぼ同じかと。なお、温泉施設も併設されているので、時間が許せば温泉を楽しむの良いかと思います。 こちらで目を惹くのは海鮮バーベキューが楽しめることでしょう。中に入るとバーベキュー用のセットが販売されています。バーベキューの営業時間は不明ですが、ランチタイムなら問題なく...

    唐津の厳木地区にある紅葉スポットです。私が訪問したのは11月の初めで紅葉には早かったのですが、池の周りは色づき始めており、十分に楽しむことができました。なお、紅葉の最盛期になるとかなり混在するようで、交通規制が敷かれるようです。 園内はアップダウンはありますがきちんと整備されていて、歩きにくいということはありません。健脚な方であればロングコースでも20分もあれば一回りできると思います。 園内全域に...

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.
