explanation: Saga prefecture occupies the northern part of Kyushu region, facing Japanese Sea, between Nagasaki et Fukuoka prefectures. Its surface is 2,422 km2 and the population 0.8 million. The prefectural office is at Saga City. There exists a coal mine on the northern region but it was replaced by nuclear plants.
