Saga Night Tour: The Floating Torii Gate, Sake Brewery Visits and Shrine Illuminations
The nights of Saga will take you on a special journey. Create your own sake label at a historic sake brewery, quietly pass through the torii gate of a shrine enshrined underwater, and at night at Yutoku Inari Shrine, the fantastical "Fox Wedding Procession" takes place while enveloped in a mystical light.
