Saga Prefecture Small City Travel

A trip to Kitakyushu from Saga Airport-1
Saga Prefecture is a place with convenient transportation, including railways and roads.
All major areas of Kitakyushu can be easily accessed.
Connecting Hakata, Nagasaki and even Oita to Yufuin,
Tosu Station is an important railway hub.
I chose to stay at Tosu Station as a stopover for the first few days.
There are not many tourist spots in the city of Saga, but there are many tourist spots around the prefecture.
Karatsu on the northern coast has an old town street and seafood.
The Hizen Kashima Inari Shrine on the south is one of the three major Inari shrines in Japan.
Takeo Onsen, the starting point of the West Kyushu Shinkansen, has an ancient hot spring street.
Takeo Shrine and the beautifully designed Takeo Library.
In addition, there is the Cherry Blossom Hundred Famous Places Kojo Park in the suburbs of Saga City.
Especially during the cherry blossom season, the town park has different scenery during the day and night.
It is worth visiting during the flower season.
Take the old Kiha47 train for 15 minutes via the Karatsu Line.
Arriving at the old wooden town station and walking out,
It is about a 5-minute walk away.
Arriving at Ojo Park and Okayama Shrine,
You can see a park with nearly 3,000 cherry trees.
Okayama Shrines are scattered across ponds, buildings and hilltops.
The town at night is not as peaceful as it is during the day.
It also attracts a large number of office workers and students from surrounding towns to come here at night.
Go to enjoy the night cherry blossoms. In addition, during this period,
There are also many hot food stalls around the shrine selling various drinks or meals.

The most famous products of the town are yokan and distillery.
Saga is a major agricultural prefecture that produces a variety of agricultural products.
The products produced by the town distillery are also very special in Japanese sake.
It's gin, not Japanese whiskey or sake.
After tasting a cup, I found it very smooth, so I bought a bottle to bring back to Taiwan to taste.
I really recommend traveling here to experience the atmosphere of rural Japan.
