Fukuoka, capital of Fukuoka Prefecture, sits on the northern shore of Japan’s Kyushu Island. It’s known for ancient temples, beaches and modern shopping malls, including Canal City. Maizuru Park contains ruins of 17th-century Fukuoka Castle. The central Hakata district contains Tōchō-ji Temple, home to a 10m wooden Buddha and the Hakata Machiya Folk Museum, with displays on daily life in the Meiji and Taishō eras.
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.
