Maps
So you don’t know where in Japan Saga Prefecture (that’s Saga-ken, in Japanese) is, or where in Saga-ken anything
is. You’re not alone. Here are a few nice maps from various places on the web to help you get your bearings.
- About.com’s map of Japan; Saga-ken is number 41. Squint hard, it’s there.
- Yahoo! Japan’s map of Saga-ken. This one is almost all in kanji, but you can still get an idea of the lay of the land if you can’t read Japanese.
- JNTO’s (highly stylized) map of Saga-ken. It’s in English with area names.
- Saga City Interactive Bus Route Map (Japanese)
