Saga Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of Kyushu. It consists of five regions: Karatsu, Imari, Kito, Saga, and the eastern part of the prefecture. Saga Prefecture is divided into two major climatic zones: a Japan Sea type climate in the northern part and an inland type climate in the southern part, bordered by the Tenzan mountain range in the central part of the prefecture. The average annual temperature is around 16°C in most areas, which is mild. However, the temperature in Saga City is slightly higher than in other areas due to the influence of buildings, asphalt roads, and lack of greenery. Saga Prefecture's three major gourmet delicacies are Saga Beef, known as a premium brand of beef and raised in the mild climate unique to Saga Prefecture; Ikizukuri Squid, with its translucent, clear meat, unique texture, sweetness and deliciousness; and Takezaki Crab, with its rich taste and slight sweetness. Ten crafts and three food products, such as Imari/Arita-yaki and Karatsu-yaki, are designated as traditional local products by Saga Prefecture. In addition, "Yoshinogari Historical Park" with about 100 reconstructed buildings from the Yayoi period, the largest in Japan, "Ureshino Onsen" famous as one of the three best hot springs for beautiful skin in Japan, and "Yobuko Morning Market" one of the three major morning markets in Japan are recommended tourist spots you should visit when coming to Saga Prefecture.
