Two seas with different expressions.
calm mountains.
A vast, fertile plain that yields abundant crops.
To the north is the Genkai Sea, one of Japan's leading fishing grounds, and to the south is the Ariake Sea, which boasts one of the world's largest tidal ranges, and the fertile Saga plains adjacent to it.
Karatsu, Imari, and Arita have long been known as ceramic production areas, and Ureshino City, which has Ureshino Onsen, which is counted as one of Japan's top three hot springs for beautiful skin, is also famous as a tea production area.
