After Nagasaki, the next stop along the trip was to Saga.
The main event here was a visit to the Yoshinogari site, which is an archaeological site with finds dating back to the Yayoi period of ancient Japan. Now, replicas of a Yayoi village has been built on the site to demonstrate how life was like back then.
The site also houses many ancient tombs. These have been excavated and preserved for viewing.
We also stopped by the site of a naval training facility built during the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate by the Saga feudal lord, to train up a modern navy as a guard against European incursions. The facility itself is long gone, but a small park has been built on its location as a memorial and museum. It can be said to be one of the birthplace of modern Japan's navy.
