Saga Prefecture may not be flashy, but it is a place of exceptional craftsmanship and abundant nature. It is renowned for Arita and Imari porcelain, some of Japan’s most exquisite ceramics, shaped by centuries of refinement. Along the vast Ariake Sea, the region thrives on unique traditions like mudflat fishing and seaweed farming, deeply connected to the sea’s bounty. There is an unassuming yet dignified air in Saga, where the quiet resilience of its people and culture shines through.
