The Rokkaku River originates up in the Jinroku Mountain in Yamauchi Town, Takeo City, which is located in western Saga. The Rokkaku River meets the Takeo River along the way, snakes through the Shiroishi Plain, and flows into the Ariake Sea. The impressive part around the mouth of the river is probably the well-built dikes on both sides of the sea. These were built because the area had often suffered from floods since early times.

Every first-time customer of Saga Airport says they are surprised about the empty landscape around the airport. Actually, there are roads, paddy fields, and creeks for fertilizing the land. So, it is not like there is nothing but a vast land stretched like a desert. Those people were probably swayed by an overwhelmingly large land which is actually taken care of by local people.
