- While most the castle was destroyed during the Saga Rebellion in 1874, the Akamon Gate, Otemon Gate, stone fortifications, and the surrounding samurai residences still stand. Akamon Gate was Kashima Castle's main entryway; it has been designated an Important Cultural Property of the prefecture. Today it's a park that's famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot, one of the top three in Saga Prefecture.

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.
