    Saga Kashima-shi Furueda Otsu 1855
    A museum on the precincts of Yutoku-jinja Shrine, one of Japan's three main Shinto shrines dedicated to the deity Inari. It exhibits Yutoku Inari Shrine treasures as well as local historic and ethnic materials, arts, and crafts. Items you can view at the permanent exhibition include artifacts from Yutokuin Shrine, armor of the former Kashima clan's feudal lords, art swords, ceramics, paintings, and Kashima nishiki fabric. In addition, special exhibits on various themes are held year-round.

    祐徳稲荷神社の本殿と、山の一番上にあった奥の院を参拝して、駐車場に向かうと、駐車場横に、祐徳博物館がありました。 この博物館は、祐徳稲荷神社所蔵のお宝はもちろんですが、鍋島藩の歴代藩主が用いた鎧兜・美術刀剣などが展示されています。特に、鎧兜は10体ほど並んでいて、圧巻でした。

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.
