Important Cultural Property of Saga
佐 賀 県 の 重 要 文 化 財Saga’s Important Cultural Properties — designated for their value to the nation’s cultural history.
Taku Seibyo in Taku, Saga: a Confucian temple completed in 1708 as the heart of a local academy, richly carved in Chinese style. Open after spring and autumn rites.
Tashima Shrine Main Hall in Imari, Saga: an early Muromachi three-bay nagare sanctuary, one of few medieval shrine buildings in Kyushu, seen through its shelter.
Former Tashiro Family Western-Style House in Arita, Saga: an 1876 hybrid house a porcelain trader built for foreign buyers, with a colonnaded veranda.
A vermilion two-storied gate of the Momoyama period beside Saga Castle's moat. Why it carries two designation dates, and the 1603 torii and 1606 bridge before it.
A thatched farmhouse of 1789 in the Chikushi mountains, dated by ink on a purlin joint. Saga's oldest securely dated dwelling, and the access you must check first.
