The Saga City Cultural Museum
The Saga City Cultural Museum is a collection of historical buildings which are preserved and maintained by the city of Saga for future generations. The Old Koga Bank, Old Koga Residence, and the Old Ushijima Residence were opened to the public in 1997, followed by the Old Sansho Bank and the Old Fukuda Residence in 2000. These five important cultural properties of Saga City can be visited free of charge for sightseeing and tours, and are even used as venues for events such as concerts and exhibitions. With the addition of the Old Morinaga Residence and Old Hisatomi Residence in April of 2016 the Saga City Cultural Museum now totals seven buildings.
