Insider tip — 'Amandi' at Chikushino Onsen in Kiyama-cho, a small Saga town on the Fukuoka border. The Chikugo region name evokes the ancient Tsukushi no Kuni (筑紫国) — one of the oldest described territories in Japanese chronicles. Kiyama sits at the foot of Kiyama (基山 = base mountain), the Saga-Fukuoka boundary peak. 'Amandi' is an unusual name combining elements — perhaps 'ama' (sky/heaven) and 'ndi' — for a community spa serving this cross-border agricultural district.
