Saga City

Gateway to the Porcelain Heart of Japan
Saga is a part of Japan that is still relatively unknown to foreign travelers. It is packed with its own charms both obvious and obscure. Not all of Japan is a neon metropolis. Saga is a small castle town, with much to offer concerning history, culture, nature and craftsmanship. The environment is much calmer than the hectic pace of the larger, crowded cities. The key to Saga is exploration and a healthy dose of curiosity.

The scenic and accessible Saga Castle is the largest wooden reconstruction in Japan. The castle itself was first constructed in the 16th century; however, it has been rebuilt and renovated several times. The last reconstruction was of the main keep in 2001, resulting in the largest wooden reconstruction in Japan.

After a day of exploring Saga City it's time to check out the surrounding areas. Takeo Onsen and Ureshino Onsen are famous for their hot springs. Arita and Imari are essential stops for aficionados of pottery or traditional artistry.
