Saga Castle Ruins

4.6/5
51 reviews
Saga Castle is a castle located in the city of Saga. The ancient name Zuojia City, alias Shen City, Turtle City. Completed in the early Edo period, it is the seat of the Saga Domain's domain hall. Currently located in the center of Saga City. During the Saga Rebellion in the Meiji era, most of the buildings in the castle were burnt down, and only the Shizuo Gate and the Tsukugura have survived to this day, and they are now a national cultural property of Japan. Based on recent investigation results, the scale of the burnt down castle may be the same as or slightly larger than that of the Kokura Castle. The Saga Castle Honmaru History Museum is located in the ruins of the Saga Castle. It is a museum that restored and used the Saga Castle Honmaru Palace built at the end of the Edo period. It is a large-scale wooden restored building in Japan. There are more than 700 tatami mats in the museum, and historical materials related to the Shogunate and Saga during the Restoration Period are displayed in various aspects through documents, videos and models in this wide space.Saga City · 13.3 km from Yanagawa

Yanagawa, known as the world's water town, is an artificial river surrounded by the city. It is criss-crossed in Yanagawa City, with a total distance of 930 kilometers. This man-made river was originally used as a fortress, but also has various functions such as a disaster prevention function such as temporarily storing excess rainwater to prevent flooding of the river, and a water storage function such as water for agriculture and firefighting. Very beneficial to the public. The water there is very shallow, and the depth is not more than one meter. The boat sails down into the wind. Along the way, there are ancient Japanese houses, willows, and spring flowers. The boatman wearing Japanese clothes sings ancient songs in a unique cadence. At this time, if you have a glass of sake in your hand to drink, how comfortable it should be.Yanagawa · 5m from downtown

There are not many places to visit in Saga, but Saga Castle is worth a visit. In the evening, the setting sun falls on the Saga Castle History Museum like molten gold, giving this ancient city a soft and mysterious golden coat. Stepping lightly, stepping into this land treated gently by time, it seems as if you have traveled through the tunnel of time and space and returned to that turbulent era. Saga Castle, whose history can be traced back to the early Edo period, was once the location of the Saga Domain Office. However, after many wars and fires, Saga Castle has been damaged several times. Especially in the Saga Rebellion in the early Meiji era, most of the buildings in the city were burned down, and only the city walls and gates were preserved. The Saga Castle History Museum we see today was built on the basis of the reconstruction by the then domain lord Nabeshima Naomasa in 1838, and has been maintained and restored. The History Museum stands quietly under the city wall. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, it is more solemn and quiet at this moment. The city wall, the mottled stones, every brick and tile are engraved with the stories of the past. They have witnessed the changes of countless dynasties and the baptism of wind and rain, but they still stand tall, guarding the memory and glory of this land. Walking along the city wall, you can still vaguely hear the echo of history Walking into the history museum, the lights are soft and the atmosphere is warm. With more than 700 tatami mats, it is one of the largest wooden restoration buildings in Japan. The museum displays a variety of exhibits, from ancient weapons to exquisite works of art, from documentary records to daily utensils, each of which carries the weight of history and tells the past and present of Saga Castle. In particular, those historical materials related to the late shogunate and the Meiji Restoration period, through materials, images and models, present the history of this period in many ways, making people feel as if they are in that turbulent era.
