About Saga Prefecture
Saga Prefecture is in the northwest of Kyushu, the southwesternmost of Japan's main islands. It's known for traditional ceramics made in its northwestern towns of Arita, Imari and Karatsu. Arita's Kyushu Ceramic Museum celebrates this heritage. To the north sits Imari's Okawachiyama village with centuries-old kilns. Farther north, Karatsu has many pottery studios, as well as the Nijinomatsubara coastal pine forest.
