The Yanagimachi District has many historic buildings from the Meiji to Taisho periods (1868-1926).
At the Old Hisatomi Residence, visitors can try on kimonos.
On top of this, at Hizen Vidro, which has inherited an art work created at the end of the Edo period (1603-1868), there is a workshop where you can experience the actual glass-making process, and create your very own glass.
Nabeshima Dantsu is the name for rugs made only in Saga, which use high quality cotton for the woven yarn. These rugs are softer than silk or wool and are suitable for the hot and humid Japan. At the Nabeshima Dantsu Museum, visitors can feel and learn about the old days of Saga.
