Starting from Fukuoka, our long-awaited day trip to Yanagawa began. The morning sunlight gently streamed through the window, softly illuminating our faces. We took the express train, traveling through beautiful countryside scenery, and arrived in Yanagawa after about 50 minutes. As soon as we got off the train, the cool air felt like a refreshing spring, invigorating our spirits and lifting our moods. Exiting Yanagawa Station, we followed the signs to the boat boarding area, and the scenery along the way was a delightful surprise. Both sides of the street were lined with flourishing cherry blossom trees, their pink petals gently falling with the breeze, creating a romantic shower of petals as if blessing our journey. The cherry blossoms here were not only beautiful but also exuded a faint fragrance, intoxicating us and making us feel as if we were in a dreamy fairy tale world. We boarded a small boat called the 'Donko Boat' and began our waterway journey. The boatman skillfully rowed the boat, introducing the history and scenery of Yanagawa along the way. His voice was as clear as a bell, bringing joy to our hearts. The willow trees on both sides swayed with the wind, and the spring flowers bloomed like girls in festive attire, competing to blossom. This picturesque scene made me eagerly take out my camera to capture these wonderful moments. On the boat, we passed through low gates, listening to the boatman's witty remarks, feeling particularly joyful. The shimmering water reflected the surrounding cherry blossoms, making the entire scenery even more gentle and dreamy. As the boat moved along, we also saw many traditional local buildings. The white-walled, black-tiled houses, set against the cherry blossom trees, seemed to take us through a tunnel of time, allowing us to feel the ancient charm. After about 70 minutes, we disembarked and went to a famous local restaurant to taste Yanagawa's specialty dish - steamed eel rice. The fragrant eel and rice silently blended in the steamer, creating a delicious taste that seemed to tell the story of Yanagawa with every bite, leaving us with endless aftertastes. After the delicious lunch, we strolled through Yanagawa Park, where the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom. Groups of tourists were taking photos under the trees, creating a lively picture. The sunlight filtered through the petals, casting dappled shadows, making us feel the breath of spring, filling our hearts with joy and gratitude. This day trip to Yanagawa not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful cherry blossoms and unique water town scenery but also to taste the local cuisine, making it an unforgettable experience. On the train back to Fukuoka, the scenery outside the window flowed like a moving picture, and my heart was filled with beautiful memories of Yanagawa, looking forward to revisiting this beautiful land and reliving the romance of spring.

Get an early start from Nishitetsu Tenjin station with an express train to Yanagawa. You will enjoy an hour long leisurely punt down the river, with commentary of the sights and some serenading. It is fun going under the bridges along the way. You can opt to enjoy the famous unagi dish for lunch before heading to Dazaifu. Enjoy the old town charm of Dazaifu and local snacks. Catch a shuttle bus to Kamado Shrine for a stunning sunset view. It is a renowned spot for autumn leaves when in season. Tip: 1. Nishitetsu offers a package that includes the train rides and river punting. It is worthwhile if you use the discount coupons included, otherwise transport savings is minimal. 2. Check the schedule of the special trains Suito and Tabito with the station staff. You can time your rides to catch these trains along the way. #japantrip #kyushu #fukuoka #temple #autumn #familytrip

#japantrip I recently had the pleasure of visiting Yanagawa, a historic town nestled in the heart of Kyushu, and was captivated by its enchanting canals and mouth-watering cuisine. A leisurely boat ride along the winding waterways revealed a tapestry of traditional architecture, vibrant greenery, and warm hospitality. The highlight of my visit was savoring the local specialty, Unagi Seiromushi - a delectable fusion of grilled eel, flavorful rice, and subtle bamboo steam. This hidden gem is a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic and unforgettable experience. Come for the canals, stay for the cuisine, and leave with memories to cherish.

Eight days and seven nights trip to Fukuoka One of them arranged a trip to Dazaifu and Yanagawa! A must-try when you come to Yanagawa is the eel rice, and although it’s expensive, being able to eat the specialty steamed eel rice at a shop with a history is highly recommended. There are many Yanagawa Eel Rice, but not all of them are open every day, and because we went on the cruise first, it was relatively late after the boat, most of the shops had to queue, in order to eat to delicious eel rice, so we chose a shop that has to wait in line - the original Benjiya 🫶🏻 This is the main store of Benji House, which has been around for more than three hundred years. The store is located by the river, and if you sit by the window you can see the beautiful scenery. Since it was already relatively late when we arrived, some of the meals were sold out although we only had eel rice in the store, but we were thinking of eating eel rice, so it was OK Very simple, want to eat more eel will be more expensive, eel rice compared to the Japanese cuisine we eat is relatively high price level. I ordered the Teせいろ蒸し set meal, which comes with eel cold plate, eel liver soup, white rice and pickles Friends who have to watch it 🫡 If it is too compact, it is recommended to avoid it, but it came to Yanagawa, I think I have to try it anyway, but I can visit Dazaifu a little later. The thing is that this kind of eel rice is really unforgettable to eat, first grilled and then steamed cooking technique, so that its sauce has a kind of smoky taste, the rice absorbs all the sauce is very tasty, so of course it will taste It's more wet, I'm super satisfied after eating it 😋😋😋 #Fukuoka #FukuokaTravel #FukuokaFood #FukuokaRecommendations #YanagawaFood #Japan #YanagawaTravel #JapaneseFood #fukuoka #fukuokafood #japanfood #eelrice #fukuokaeelrice #Yanagawa #Yanagawa eel rice #honyoshiya #originalhonyoshiya #fukuokagourmet #fukuokatravel

Known as the Venice of Japan, the eel capital, this is how I realized it after visiting Yanagawa. Yanagawa City, which is run through by winding rivers, has unique lake and riverside scenery. Strolling through the streets of Yanagawa, you can feel the enthusiasm and comfort of rural residents. Food recommendations: 1. Motoyoshiya eel rice (the interior decoration is very Japanese-style, and the eel rice is also very delicious) 2. Tachibana Udon (the decoration is also very ancient Japanese-style, which I have never experienced before in Japanese cities. The udon is also very delicious, and it is a restaurant where many local residents dine) Recommended attractions: Sanzhu Shrine: There are eel-shaped souvenirs inside, which are very cute and have local characteristics. The shrine itself is also very large, antique, magnificent and beautiful.

#FukuokaTravel #FukuokaSuburbs #Yanagawa #YanagawaTravel #YanagawaBoatRide You can get to 'Yanagawa', a suburb famous for boat rides, in about an hour by subway from Fukuoka🫧 If you take the Nishitetsu train from Fukuoka Tenjin Station and get off at Nishitetsu Yanagawa, there is a free shuttle bus to the place where you can enjoy boat rides, so it's very easy to get there👍 Some people might be worried about boat rides in the middle of summer. On the day I visited, I was a little out of it because of the sweltering heat and occasional showers, but I enjoyed it with the thought that I would never have another experience like this again! 🎆Small tips🎆 ✓Sit in the front or back of the boat! : That way, when you take pictures, the person next to you won't get in the way, so they'll look pretty, and you won't get in the way of the scenery. ✓If the sunlight is too strong, you can rent a traditional Japanese hat for 100 yen! : You can ask the guide before you get on the boat. I was so busy that I didn't rent one, but I slightly regretted it because the sunlight was too strong. ✓Strawberry ice cream 350 yen recommendation : There is a chance to buy strawberry ice cream on the boat in the middle! I thought I absolutely had to eat it, so I ate it, and it was so delicious that I recommend it. ⩵ Yanagawa boat ride can be an endlessly boring time depending on the person, or it can be more enjoyable than you think. It's an experience that will definitely be divided into likes and dislikes, but I personally liked it. The winding waterway offers different scenery at every stop, so for me who loves nature, it was a very happy time! The scenery changes depending on the season, so if you are planning to visit Fukuoka, I recommend Yanagawa as a nearby trip💕 📍Fukuoka Yanagawa
