    Located on the site of Saga Castle, this history museum faithfully creates a portion of the castle’s inner palace. The first ever recreation in Japan of a castle’s inner palace, it is also one of the largest recreated wooden structures in the country. Inside, under the theme of Saga at the end of the Edo period and during the Meiji restoration, the museum presents information on the restoration of Saga Castle, the feats of Saga Domain personages during this time period, and the development of science and technology.

    鍋島侯爵家が建てた博物館で、佐嘉神社の西隣に建っています。佐賀城跡とは濠を挟んで北側に位置していますので、一緒に見学すると良いでしょう。駅からも歩いて行けますがバスを使っても良いと思います。最寄りのバス停は県庁前か佐嘉神社前です。 元々は博物館として建てられており、現在も鍋島家縁の文物が展示されています。昭和になってから建てられているので、外見は昭和モダンを感じさせます。通年で公開はされておらず...

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.
