Saga prefecture is located in the northwestern part of the Kyushu region. It is an area famous for its delicious seafood and for its exquisite porcelain ware production - Arita and Nabeshima - which has a long tradition in the area.

Saga prefecture is also the region where the remains of one of Japan's oldest fortresses have been discovered - the Yoshinogari Ruins, a site that offers valuable insights on how the people lived in Japan 2000 years ago.
