Car Hire in Saga - Mini guide to Saga

The small city of Saga is the capital of Saga Prefecture in the north western part of the island of Kyushu in Japan. The prefecture itself is widely known for its porcelain and ceramics industry. While it may not be considered a tourist destination, the city can still serve as a suitable travel hub for those who are looking to explore the island.

Many travellers opt to arrange for cheap car hire in Saga so they can easily get around the island. The city itself is small enough for walking and transport networks are also quite reliable. However, to get to the other cities and towns in the prefecture and outside it, driving is a more convenient mode of transport.

The city does offer a few attractions worth a day trip. The Saga International Balloon Fiesta attracts millions of visitors every autumn. While in the city, a visit to the Kakunitei Tea House is also a must. The tea house is located in Kono Koen. From there, tourists usually drive to the Saga Castle, a historical museum housed in a wooden building which is touted to be the largest wood construction in the country.

Using a car rental in Saga, travellers can also head out to other cities and villages in the prefecture. A drive up north will take them to the city of Karatsu where they can find a number of historic buildings and the Karatsu Castle, the city's most popular tourist attraction. Karatsu also attracts tourists from all over the country for its Karatsu Kunchi Festival in November.

Using a car hire in Saga, travellers can also drive to the Saga Airport, the main air facility in the prefecture. It serves daily flights to Osaka and Tokyo. The JR Nagasaki Line also goes through the city through the main rail station in the city centre.
