This museum building is a faithful reconstruction of the Saga Castle main palace, built by the tenth domain lord Nabeshima Naomasa in 1838. It was rebuilt based on archaeological findings, old photographs, and diagrams from the Edo Period. Only one-third of the original complex has been restored, but it is still the largest scale wooden building restoration project in Japan, and the first restoration of a castle’s main palace. More than 700 tatami mats cover the floor of this museum, and in this vast space, many exhibits introducing Saga in the 19th century can be seen in the form of historical materials, footage and models. You will find that this museum is completely flat; this is because it was originally designed as a flat-structured building on one level in the Edo Period. Now, allow yourself to slip back in time to Saga during the Edo Period. Please enjoy your visit.

I overslept on my train from Nagasaki to Saga, so I ended up at a quiet station called Tosu. Since I arrived there, I might as well visit this local place. About 15mins bus ride (210 yen) from Tosu station, I arrived at Tosu Premium Outlets. I don’t normally go shopping while traveling, but the price here is very hard to pass. Try going there on the weekends when they usually have additional discounts. I was lucky, there was a massive sale at Coach, an additional 35% to the already discounted price. It’s tax free too. The crowd is okay, compared to other premium outlets in the big city. A nice break from temples and castles. Recommended to spend half a day here, if you’re into shopping. If you’re going with your wife or girlfriend, keep an eye on her!!
