    About 5,000 plum trees burst into bloom from late February to early March across the Mt. Ushio area. During the season, plum growers and local residents in the Sanri area hold a plum blossom festival every year. At that time there's a stage with various events, sales of specialty products made with plums, and other activities. It's held at the center of Ushinoo Plum Grove; there's a 20-car parking lot, but during the festival, traffic is restricted, and a shuttle bus operates.

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
