Official websiteNagasaki Prefecture page
Saza Town spreads along the valley of the Saza River in the central southwest of the Kitamatsuura Peninsula. Part of the Hokusho Coalfield, it prospered from coal mining until the Showa 40s (1965–1974). The town stayed independent during the Great Heisei Mergers (a wave of municipal mergers), and except for part of its coast it is surrounded by Sasebo City.
