How about a trip to Yanagawa one day?
About 400 years ago, a castle town was formed by digging an artificial moat inside the fortress walls of Yanagawa Castle, and this is where the wisdom of the old Japanese people is embedded. It uses a very unique water supply system using flood control, irrigation, and various mechanisms. Yanagawa is a city where the legacy of the feudal era is still alive, and it has the world's best waterways, harmonized with the 60km canal from the 2km square in the center of the city. Therefore, this city is also called the "Venice of Japan." Enjoy a leisurely boat ride and go on a boat trip while watching the beautiful scenery of each season while the boatman sings Funauta (boatman's song). After the boat trip, you can enjoy a lunch of delicious eel.
