It is difficult to pick one season because there are many enjoyable sights and attractions all year around. We would recommend autumn as the best season to travel around Saga.

A traditional cultural event called the Karatsu Kunchi is held 2-4 November and Saga International Balloon Festival Fiesta, a sports competition and fun event, starts at the end of October.
