Yanagawa River Cruise in Kyushu

Experience with special emotion,
Yanagawa River Cruise

Yanagawa is located approximately 60 minutes by car south of Fukuoka. The area around Yanagawa has a vast waterway stretching about 60km, and it is known as one of the most famous water towns in the world.

This experience is a unique course where you can best feel the charm of Yanagawa City. Take a ride on Yanagawa's boat 'Donko-bune', led by a local boatman, and have a great time exploring the beautiful heritage of the Hansei era, hundreds of years ago.

How to get to Fukuoka

Let me introduce how to get to Yanagawa River 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 River cruise shuttle from Yanagawa Station and move to the cruise location

Moving in the above way is the most convenient way.

Attraction of Yanagawa River Cruise

The biggest reason I recommend the Yanagawa River cruise is because you can feel the most Japanese atmosphere you will encounter while moving slowly by boat. If the weather is good, you can especially feel the relaxation and the unique Japanese atmosphere. While traveling by boat, the boatman tells you Japanese stories and tells you one by one where is good for taking pictures while moving, so you can easily get around.
