From Fukuoka: Yanagawa Private Half-Day Tour (River Cruise & Grilled Eel Lunch)

How about a day trip to Yanagawa from Fukuoka?

About 400 years ago, this place was created by digging artificial moats within the Yanagawa Castle fortress and forming a castle town. It is a place filled with the wisdom of ancient Japanese people. They use a very unique water supply system using flood control, irrigation, and various mechanisms. Yanagawa is a city where the legacy of the feudal era still lives on, with the world's best waterways harmonizing with the canals extending 60km from the 2km square of the city center. That's why this city has another name, 'Venice of Japan.' Enjoy a leisurely boat ride while listening to the boatman's songs (Funauta) and taking in the beautiful scenery each season. After the boat tour, you can enjoy a delicious lunch with eel.
