Kyushu Yanagawa Boat Ride Tour

Meeting with a special feeling,
Yanagawa boat ride

Yanagawa is located about 60 minutes by car from Fukuoka south. Yanagawa is surrounded by a huge waterway that is about 60km long, and is known as one of the world's most famous water towns.

This experience is a unique course that allows you to best experience the charm of Yanagawa City. Board the Yanagawa boat "Donkobune" led by a local boatman and have a great time looking around the beautiful heritage of the Hansei period hundreds of years ago.

How to get there from Fukuoka

I will introduce how to get to Yanagawa Boat Ride from Fukuoka Tenjin Station. There are several ways to get to Yanagawa, but I will introduce the fastest and most convenient way.

1. Take the Omuta Line from Tenjin Station to Yanagawa Station
2. Take the Yanagawa Boat Ride Shuttle from Yanagawa Station and go to the boat ride location.

The above method is the most convenient way to move.

The charm of boating in Yanagawa

The biggest reason I recommend the Yanagawa boat ride is because you can feel the most Japanese atmosphere while slowly moving on the boat. If the weather is good, you can feel especially relaxed and truly experience the unique Japanese atmosphere.

As you ride the boat, the boatman tells you stories about Japan and tells you about good photo spots along the way, so you can travel around comfortably.

The boat ride lasts approximately 70 minutes!
