There was a party at lunch time. About 100 people must have come. The venue was a very nice wedding ceremony hall. Foods looked nice but I could not eat because I had to take many pictures. There were many performances which were very attractive.

In the afternoon I went to the Saga (佐賀) Castle History Museum. Entrance fee is free there. There are not tall buildings left, but it is worth visiting.

It was slightly raining all day long.

I had 3 meetings and visited 2 restaurants to check for the coming program.

After work, I went to ganbanyoku (岩盤浴), bedrock bathing or hot stone spa for the first time. It is a kind of sauna. First you need to take a shower. Then, you lay on your stomach on the hot stone for 5 minutes then lie on your back for 10 minutes and repeat that process for some times. I did 3 times. They recommended me to drink water a lot. I became sweaty. Finally I took a bath.

I came to Saga (佐賀), Kyushu (九州). Last month I came to Saga via Fukuoka (福岡), but this time I came here directly from Haneda (羽田) to Saga Airport. There are only 4 flights every day. It takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes.
From the Saga Airport there are bus services which go to Saga Station. It took about a half hour and cost yen 600 for one way and yen 1,000 for return tickets.
It is raining here.

In the morning I went to the JR Saga (佐賀) station to get some maps around there.
There is a Japanese sweets shop at the other side of the station. I just wanted to see what kind of sweets there are in Saga. When I entered, they served me a cup of tea. I was so surprised. I bought one which the taxi driver recommended me to eat yesterday.
At the souvenir shop at the station I found sea weed taste dried pasta. Saga is famous for sea weed called nori (海苔). So I bought one.
I have visited 5 different places for preview and come to Hakata (博多) at night.
