[Kyushu] Water Village of Asia

#2024Travel Review Yanagawa is also known as the Venice of Kyushu. It was transformed into a water town in the Edo period for defense. Now it has become a place where boatmen paddle boats and carry tourists, humming ancient poems while admiring weeping willows and cruising on the water. Boat trips are a popular activity in Yanagawa. The city's canals are 930 kilometers long and connect every corner of the city. The ticket price for a sightseeing boat trip is 1,800 yen for adults and 900 yen for children. The cruise ship will pass by many attractions, such as Yanagawa Castle Hori Water Gate and Yanagawa City Library. At Okihata, the final stop of the cruise ship, there are many major eel rice restaurants. In Yanagawa, you can taste the excellent specialty manju rice. As the seasons change, Yanagawa will also present different looks. Let's meet it this summer and look forward to seeing you under the cherry trees. Transportation: From Fukuoka, take the Nishitetsu Railway from Tenjin Station to Yanagawa Station. The journey takes about 45 minutes.
