Saga, Japan, usually refers to Saga Prefecture or Saga City. It is located on the northwest side of the Kyushu region of Japan, bordering the Genkai Sea to the north, the Ariake Sea to the south, Fukuoka Prefecture to the east, and Nagasaki Prefecture to the west. It covers an area of approximately 2,440.68 square kilometers. It has jurisdiction over 10 cities and 10 towns, with a population of about 832,800. The prefectural emblem is composed of three "力" characters, the prefectural flag features camphor tree flowers, the prefectural bird is the magpie, the prefectural tree is the camphor tree, and the prefectural flower is the camphor tree flower. Saga, Japan has many tourist attractions worth visiting. Here are some recommendations: Historical and Cultural Sites - Saga Castle: Located at 2-18 Jonai, Saga City, the remaining parts are important cultural properties. Here, you can experience Japan's rich history.  - Karatsu Castle: Also known as "Maizuru Castle," it was built in 1608 and took seven years to complete by the first lord of the Karatsu Domain. The fifth floor of the castle tower is an observation deck, offering panoramic views of the Genkai Sea and Matsuura Lagoon. Maizuru Park, surrounding the castle, is a famous spot for cherry blossom viewing.  - Taku Seibyo: Along with "Ashikaga Gakko (Tochigi Prefecture)" and "Shizutani Gakko (Okayama Prefecture)," it is known as one of Japan's three major Confucian shrines.

The pillars and beams of the vermillion-lacquered buildings are decorated with auspicious patterns such as dragons, giraffes, and phoenixes, giving it a magnificent appearance.  - Yoshinogari Historical Park: Here lie the ruins of Japan's largest moat settlement from the Yayoi period. Surrounded by a 2.5 km-long moat, reconstructed observation towers, pit dwellings, and raised storehouses allow visitors to fully experience the atmosphere of the Yayoi period.   Hot Spring Resorts - Takeo Onsen: With a 1,300-year history, this is a mildly alkaline hot spring with clear and smooth water.

A cafe located about a 5-minute walk from Karatsu Station☕️ On weekdays, it's usually quiet even during the day, so you can relax.

The first impression of "Karatsu Castle" is that it is small, cute and very exquisite! Before reaching the city gate, you can see Karatsu Castle on the hill in the distance. This castle was first built more than 400 years ago (i.e. in the early Edo period) by the famous Japanese general "Toyotomi Hideyoshi"✨ I really like the scenery from the castle tower. The beautiful scenery of the sea and islands makes people feel relaxed and happy. It is different from ordinary castles on land. If you come to Saga, don’t forget to take a walk here and feel the history🥰 #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Karatsu Castle #SAGA Viewing Light

After exploring Saga, I decided to visit Tangjin. It was much more beautiful and comfortable than I expected. I recommend visiting on a sunny day, even though it's hot. 🚌 Taking a bus from Saga It takes about 90 minutes. I chose a bus because I wanted to see the countryside. There is a FamilyMart and a toilet at Saga Bus Terminal, which is located next to Saga Train Station. Take bus No. 71 from platform 5 at Saga Bus Terminal. The bus has a screen with Chinese. The fare is 1,200 yen from the starting point to the end point. You can use a Suica card. There is no toilet at Tangjin Bus Terminal. 🚂 Returning from Tangjin by JR I chose the 7:26 pm train, which takes about 65 minutes. The station is small and has a FamilyMart. Just check the screen for information (my train was at platform 1). This train only has 2 cars. You can use a Suica card and store your luggage. The train is very cartoon-like, and it seems that each train has a different design! It's very unique. If you're lucky, you can see a beautiful sunset on this train at night. You can sit anywhere. The facilities on the train look old, and there are fans, but it's clean and practical. There are no announcements in English. 🚶🏽‍♀️Citywalk 1⃣️ Old Tangjin Bank Free admission. You can visit on your own. Just don't touch anything inside. There are 3 floors. The basement floor is a model exhibition, the 1st floor is a counter display, and the 2nd floor is historical information (Japanese). The exterior of the building is very European, designed by a famous Japanese architect. Tour time: 30 minutes (if you don't understand Japanese, just look around) 📍 1535-15 Honmachi, Karatsu 2⃣️ Tangjin Shrine A shrine that blesses safe voyages. The shrine's fortune slips are very beautiful. The carp-shaped ones can be fished. The amulets are also very beautiful! Prices range from 500 to 1,000 yen. Tour time: 30 minutes 📍 3-13 Minamijōnai, Karatsu, Saga 3⃣️ Tangjin Castle A very beautiful castle! Comparable to Okayama Castle. The 1st floor of the main tower is free. You can get 2 stamps and shop. The admission fee for the main tower is 500 yen for adults. From the high point outside the castle tower, you can see the mountains and the beautiful ocean. It's a dream castle with mountains and sea. Tangjin is very photogenic from above. Tour time: 1-1.5 hours 📍 8-1 Higashijōnai, Karatsu, Saga 4⃣️ Nishi no Hama Beach I recommend going before sunset. You can watch the sunset here. There are almost no people. It's really comfortable listening to the waves. You can wade in the water, but I don't recommend swimming. There are also the ruins of the west gate of Old Tangjin Castle nearby. Tour time: 1-1.5 hours 📍 12-1 Fujimichō, Karatsu, Saga 🛍️ Shopping 1⃣️ Maeda Pottery An old shop from the Edo period! They have Arita porcelain, Tangjin porcelain, etc. The shop is large and you can take your time. Many items are on sale! You can buy them at 50% off or for as little as 100 yen. Sake cups, teacups, plates, etc. Credit cards accepted. 📍 1886 Nakamachi, Karatsu 2⃣️ Gofukumachi Shopping Street A small shopping street with pottery shops, craft shops, skincare shops, restaurants, and shops selling works by people with disabilities. Prices are reasonable and you can support them. 📍 1822-3 Gofukumachi, Karatsu 3⃣️ Ebisu Taiyaki Hanada Very cheap taiyaki! Closed on Sundays. Taiyaki prices range from 120 to 250 yen. There's also ice cream in the summer! 📍 1503 Katanamachi, Karatsu 4⃣️ Ohara Matsuro Manju Tangjin Main Store Tangjin's famous dessert is Matsuro Manju. This shop is located opposite the Old Tangjin Bank and is also recommended on the tourist map. I bought a few to try on the spot and they were delicious!! 📍 1513-17 Honmachi, Karatsu, Saga All of the above attractions and shops are within walking distance. The only regret is that I didn't get to eat live squid, which I guess is only available in the morning! Tangjin actually has a lot of hot spring guesthouses. Next time I come to Kyushu, I will definitely come back to Tangjin!

After reading Sanada Taiheiki, I was curious about Nagoya Castle, so I visited there. At first, I thought it wouldn't be a great place, but that's not the case. more I walked around, the more I thought how amazing it was. I think that by building a huge fortress in a place like this, this government would not last long, and it makes sense that it would soon fall. Since I noticed it, the generals at the time must have noticed it too. view is great and peaceful #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#langkawi#foodphotography#chinatown#ipoh#temples#siemreap#familyfun#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด#edinburgh

Kitahama Beach is a beach with fine sand under a clear blue sky. 🛟 It's early June and the beach and beach huts aren't open yet, but the sea is as beautiful as the ocean in Okinawa. ✨ The winter oyster huts have closed and the beach hasn't opened yet, so there were no people and we had the place to ourselves! It's a bit like a bay, so even though there was wind, the sea was calm and the water was very clean. ✨ There was a private shower room behind the beach hut, which was available for a fee, and it was a beach hut that was quite well equipped. The beach is also shallow, making it perfect for playing in the water with small children. 👌 5-12 Minatomachi, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, 847-0133 Parking available #Karatsu #Beach #Beach hut #Kitahama Beach #Saga Prefecture #Sea

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Saga𓂃 𓈒𓏸Yobuko Morning Market, Yobuko Town, Karatsu City I went to the morning market in Yobuko Town, which has a history of 300 years and is said to be one of the three major morning markets in Japan. The market is open every day except New Year's Day, and it starts at 7:30, which is a slow time for a morning market, and gets busy around 9:00. Local seafood, seasonal vegetables, and squid gourmet food, which is a specialty of Yobuko, are available. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat live squid this time because of a poor catch, but we enjoyed grilled squid and squid shumai. 🦑 moc-coffee yobuko, located at the entrance of the street, is a cute cafe with a white base. ✔︎Lemon granita ✔︎Matcha latte It was extremely hot, so the cool granita brought me back to life. 🍋w The eat-in area is a little away from the shops. There were sweets and some food too 🙆🏻‍♀️ There's free parking on the north side of Asaichi-dori, so I recommend it 🚗 They also sell overnight dried fish and souvenirs It's about a 40-minute drive from Karatsushi Station! 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇From the Karatsu City Tourism Association website 7:30-12:00 ︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website Yobuko Morning Market Street, Yobuko-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #solotravel #trip #saga #sagatourism #sagatrip #karatsucity #yobukomorningmarket #yobuko #morningmarket #girlstrip #kyushutrip

A scenic spot created by the erosion of basalt by the waves of the Genkai Sea. The rock surface is lined up in a regular pattern like columns, the same as Tojinbo in Fukui. The cliff has been deeply carved by erosion, and as the name suggests, there are seven caves. You can feel the magnificent power and threat of nature. The largest sea cave is 3m wide and 110m deep. Depending on the wave conditions, you can enter by boat. The road to get there was somehow photogenic, with a sense of nature 🥺 Apparently there is a lot of silver grass on the feet ☺️ It's less than a 10-minute walk from the parking lot. There were also people who seemed to be on a sightseeing tour. 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 Yakataishi, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Saga trip #Saga #Saga sightseeing #breathtaking views #breathtaking views spots #winter trip #solo trip #trip #domestic trip

In autumn, the autumn leaves are said to be spectacular🍁 This is a private forest of about 10 hectares located on the southwest slope of Sakureyama in Iki-cho, Karatsu City. The founder lost his child to an unknown disease and came to the idea that "What humans ultimately need is clean air, and it is the forest that creates it." "If we plant trees and purify the water and air, the soil, rivers, and seas will become more energetic and protect us." This is how he took his first step towards forest creation. You can also take a stroll through the maple forest, so I would like to go again. The short course takes 15 minutes, and the long course takes 30 minutes. The facility's mascot cat? But they were so friendly and cute 🥺 Be careful, there is no signal on the mountain! ​𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 Official website Adults ¥700 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 Official website 9:00-16:00 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website: 667 Hirano, Ikimachi, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #wintertrip #solotravel #trip #saga #sagaprefecture #sagatourism #karatsucity #karatsu #reflection

The lighthouse that reminds people of the sentimental atmosphere of Hayao Miyazaki's works...👒 As you walk from the lighthouse to the Kabe Island observatory, the scenery of Howl's Moving Castle comes to mind. 🌿 Karatsu is famous for its fresh squid. After visiting the lighthouse, I recommend going to the Chinese restaurant "Kabeshima" (📍0955-82-5187), where you can enjoy a sea view while eating! ♥️ ✈️ "Hizen Tateshina-zaki Lighthouse" in Japan 📍 Kabeshima Island, Kako-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 847-0305 This is my recommendation for a must-visit tourist attraction in Japan - Kabeshima Lighthouse!

Yobuko Morning Market in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture is one of the three biggest morning markets in Japan, with around 50 stalls lined up on both sides of a 200m road.

You can enjoy the morning market while listening to the lively voices and interacting with the saleswomen. 📌Yobuko Morning Market 📌Yobuko Morning Market Street, Yobuko-cho, Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture 📌Because it is a morning market, the opening hours are generally from 7:30 to 12:00 📌Famousness ★★★☆☆ #Domestic travel #Saga Prefecture #Saga #Karatsu City #Morning market #Yobuko morning market #Yobuko

Address－Saga Karatsu Castle Environment/Facilities - Maizuru Park, Castle Tower Features - Cherry Blossom Viewing Time Price per person: 500 yen Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Transportation Tips - JR Local attractions - Hoto Shrine Kyushu Fukumang Tour Itinerary - Saga Karatsu Castle Tower is surrounded by cherry blossoms and is particularly beautiful under the sun.

#HotSpring The hot spring here is made by pumping up seawater, and the hot spring is highly concentrated Shioyu♨ Even when bathing in the open-air bath while feeling the slightly cold autumn wind, your body will warm up and you will start to sweat😆 This time, I booked a lunch and bath set here through Trip.com😙 The lunch of Imari beef shabu-shabu and sashimi was also delicious😋 The view from the large bath and open-air bath at Shioyu, as well as the main lobby and terrace where the lunch was held, was also amazing🎉 1613 Hamasaki, Hamatama-cho, Karatsu-shi, Saga-ken, 849-5131 #HotSpringLunch #Shioyu #Karatsu #SagaTrip #DayTripHotSpring

Karatsu Castle, located in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, is one of the 100 scenic spots in Japan💘 Tangtsu Castle is also a rare famous city in Japan that can overlook the sea🥹 If it is the peak cherry blossom season, you can also see the cherry blossoms reflecting the city, is a very famous cherry blossom viewing hotspot🌸🌸🌸 We have missed the cherry blossom season in June, but Tangtsu Castle is still honored as my favorite ancient city👍🏻👍🏻 Tangjin Castle 1~4 floors could not visit due to maintenance that day, we went directly to the observation deck on the top floor! The incomparable sea view in front of me, coupled with the gentle breeze, immediately swept away all the distracting thoughts in my heart☺️ We also spent an hour here before we could leave! Because looking out from every direction, it's just as beautiful 🥹 Although Tangzu is not a tourist hotspot in Kyushu, it is highly recommended to visit! #Japan Attractions

The Oura rice terraces in Saga Prefecture are terraces that stretch out towards Imari Bay, where Iroha Island and other islands are located, and are said to have been so beautiful that Kobo Daishi threw away his brush. They have also been selected as one of the "100 Best Rice Terraces in Japan." It is said that there are more than 1,000 fields, and the beauty of each season changes depending on the growth of the rice. At this time of year, the rice is in its harvested state, giving it a real autumn feel. 📌Visited on October 23rd #AutumnTrip #Saga #RiceTerraces #Outdoors #BreathtakingView

Huzi must eat raw flower branch cuisine, originally thought to eat Kawataro, but we arrived too early and not yet open, so we had to eat Huzi Wanfang instead! Ordered the raw flower branch dish for two (2860yen)🐙 and two sashimi dishes (2500yen)🍣. Let's talk about the raw flower branch cuisine 🐙, actually I knew the raw flower branch sashimi has no taste, but came to try it 🙂 Be sure to eat fresh! The palate will be more bouncy! Compared to the sashimi with raw flower branches, the squid tempura is very surprising! 😍 The restaurant will take all the leftovers to the tempura, no waste 👍🏻 The tempura is super thin and crispy, the cooked flower branches are more prominent, add a little pepper and salt super delicious, one bite at a time, good 😋😋😋 As for the sashimi set, it's just as cheap 🍣, the whole plate of sashimi is for one person! There are 7 kinds of sashimi in total 😱 Each one is fresh and plump 🤗 satisfying 🎀 Both sets come with bean curd soup, pickles and Kuko's famous squid siu-mai🍱 PS. Huzi Wanfang our shop has a seating area below sea level, you can dine while enjoying the fish swimming back and forth, unfortunately my place is not a self-drive tour, so the shop is not so convenient 😅 #Japan Attractions

To access the race from Hakata Station, take the subway Kuko Line bound for Nishi Karatsu for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, or take a 5-minute free bus from the north exit of Higashi Karatsu Station. The main building of Karatsu Boat Race is probably the most beautiful of the 24 racecourses in Japan. There are also music and cooking studios, as well as facilities for bouldering. There is also a wide variety of gourmet food, so although it is only open for breakfast, you could spend the whole day there.

#QuintessaCampaign Environmental Art Forest Environmental Art Forest in Saga It is very well maintained and is spectacular in autumn. It is said to be beautiful not only in autumn but also in the season of fresh greenery. I have only been there in autumn, so I would like to go there in early spring someday.

"Manbo", which floats on the sea of ​​Yobuko Tonoura, is a restaurant where you can eat squid🦑 dishes, with a large fish tank itself as the store😆 The inside is raised and you can eat various seafood dishes, but the best thing is squid😆✨ When you eat sashimi, the squid that was alive just a moment ago is transparent and its freshness stands out😋 The squid tentacles are made into freshly fried squid tempura, which is sweet, plump and absolutely delicious🎶 In addition to squid, there is a wide variety of other seafood dishes, so it's fun to order different menus and share them✨ 1946-1 Tonoura, Yobuko-cho, Karatsu-shi, Saga Prefecture (Parking is on land) #gourmet trip #gourmet #seafood #seafood #Yobuko #Karatsu #squid #delicious food tour #gourmet trip

The stone steps of Karatsu Castle where Yuuri trained. The symbol of the town of Karatsu, it is also known as Maizuru Castle. This is actually where the baseball team members of a nearby school used to train. Nagahama Ramen where the coach went to eat I went to [Ganso Nagahama-ya] in Fukuoka, not a food stall. The menu only has ramen and toppings. When you open the door to the store, the staff will ask you in a fairly loud voice how firm the noodles are and how much oil they have. [Noodle firmness] Raw, firm, normal, soft [Amount of oil] Sticky, normal, none [Green onion] Large green onion, green onion mori If you plan to visit, make sure you decide what to order before you go. It's a popular store, so if you hesitate, people will line up behind you. Niji no Matsubara Beach This is the location of the scene where the two of them take a shower in the ending. There are showers scattered along the beach, so you can take a shower for free after swimming. The sacred sites in Karatsu are quite far apart, so if you want to visit them in one day, I recommend taking a taxi or renting a car. I caught a taxi on the street, but it seems that almost all the taxi drivers in Karatsu are watching Yuri!!! on ICE (apparently it's a work order?) They efficiently guided me around the sacred sites, and even took me to a shop that the original author visited and left an autographed autograph card, even though it's not listed on the pilgrimage map. #Karatsu #Anime #Secret summer resort #Japan Genki Project 2021 #Summer trip

Nanatsugama in Saga Prefecture. There is a cave formed by the waves eroding the cliffs, and you can visit it by boat. When I went, the sea was rough, so the boats didn't go out and I could only see it from land. On a fine day, the color of the sea is beautiful, so I'd like to go again.

[Karatsu, Saga] You can eat Karatsu's famous squid at Karatsu Chaya. Located in a corner of a ryokan, this shop serves fresh squid and other seafood! Enjoy Karatsu seafood while looking out at the sea 🌊 #Saga #Gourmet #Seaside scenery #Summer trip #Breathtaking scenery #Gourmet trip
