Saga: Kyushu's hidden treasure

Saga, located in the northwest of Kyushu Island, Japan, is like a low-key and charming gem.

There are rich historical relics here. Saga Castle Park carries the memories of the years. The ancient city walls and buildings exude a quaint charm with the changing seasons, especially in the cherry blossom season, when pink petals fall on the city walls, as beautiful as a picture scroll. Karatsu Castle is also a pearl that has witnessed the vicissitudes of history. The surrounding Karatsu Sanzan Castle Festival is extremely lively, and the traditional float parades and performances make the ancient culture vividly presented.

Saga is blessed with unique hot spring resources. The water of Ureshino Onsen is gentle and soaking in it can soothe your body and mind and fully enjoy the comfort of Japanese hot spring culture. In the field of food, Saga beef is famous for its marbled meat, which, after simple cooking, melts in your mouth with an intoxicating taste.

In addition, Saga's ceramic craftsmanship is exquisite, and Arita ware has brilliant colors and beautiful patterns. From exquisite tea sets to gorgeous decorations, each piece demonstrates the craftsman's hard work and inherited skills. Whether you're exploring history, relaxing, or tasting food and art, Saga can provide an unforgettable and unique travel experience.
