Hi, I’m Tabi!

Saga is a city in Saga Prefecture. Explore local history and people at the reconstructed Saga Castle Honmaru museum and Ōkuma Shigenobu Memorial Museum. This guide covers Saga City, rather than the whole prefecture.

This guide covers places within Saga, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Ōkuma Shigenobu Memorial Museum

大隈重信記念館

A memorial museum presenting Ōkuma Shigenobu’s life and related material. The photo shows the building exterior in 2016. Do not assume the museum and former residence share identical viewing areas and access conditions; check current visitor and closure guidance.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Saga City’s tourism association introduces Sicilian rice, rice topped with meat, vegetables and other ingredients. Ingredients and sauces vary by shop; check meat types, allergens and current availability. The name does not establish that it is identical to cuisine from Sicily.
