Begin your day trip from Fukuoka with a visit to Kyushu's largest strawberry garden. This expansive garden is renowned for its 11 distinct varieties of strawberries, offering you the chance to savour the fresh and juicy fruit. The garden's broad paths and tiered growing methods make it an ideal destination for families, allowing children to easily pick strawberries at different heights.
Next, embark on a tranquil journey through the waterways of Yanagawa. Once the centre of Yanagawa Castle, this town is also known as the birthplace of poet Hakushu Kitahara. Experience a boat cruise aboard a traditional local vessel named after the native "Donko" fish. As you glide through the extensive canals of this water town, soak in its charm, particularly in spring, when peach and cherry blossoms adorn the riversides.
Conclude your day by delving into Saga's rich history and art. The ruins of Saga Castle, once the formidable Kameyama Castle, stand as a symbol of Saga City. Completed in 1611, the castle featured multi-story structures surrounded by an expansive moat and embankments, with trees obscuring the view of the interior. Nearby, the Saga Prefectural Art Museum offers insights into Saga's story through nature. Founded in 1970 to commemorate the Meiji era's 100th anniversary, this museum provides a fascinating glimpse into the region's past through nature.
