Saga, Prefecture capital in Kyushu, Japan
Located in northwestern Kyushu, Saga sits between Mount Tenzan and Mount Sefuri in the north and extends to the Ariake Sea inlet in the south.
The area evolved from ancient Hizen Province to become a castle town in 1608 when the Nabeshima clan constructed Saga Castle and established their domain.
The Saga Prefectural Museum contains extensive collections documenting regional archeology, history, folklore, and traditional crafts from the surrounding area.
Saga Airport maintains domestic routes to Tokyo Haneda and Narita airports, plus international connections to multiple destinations in mainland China.
The Saga International Balloon Fiesta in November features a night display where illuminated hot air balloons create synchronized light patterns along Kase River.
