Yanagawa Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yanagawa, known as the world's water town, is an artificial river surrounded by the city. It is criss-crossed in Yanagawa City, with a total distance of 930 kilometers. This man-made river was originally used as a fortress, but also has various functions such as a disaster prevention function such as temporarily storing excess rainwater to prevent flooding of the river, and a water storage function such as water for agriculture and firefighting. Very beneficial to the public. The water there is very shallow, and the depth is not more than one meter. The boat sails down into the wind. Along the way, there are ancient Japanese houses, willows, and spring flowers. The boatman wearing Japanese clothes sings ancient songs in a unique cadence. At this time, if you have a glass of sake in your hand to drink, how comfortable it should be.

Early that morning, I went to Tenjin West Railway Station to buy Liuchuan, Taizaifu package, but there were only packages for separate attractions on the spot. The two places had to be purchased separately. The staff of Tenjin Tourism Service Station took some time to explain the itinerary. The boat journey is about an hour, the scenery along the way is pleasant, the residents on both sides of the Straits plant a variety of flowers and bloom very brilliantly, when the boat arrives at the end, find a restaurant to enjoy delicious salmon rice.
Liuchuan City has many canals to cross, known as the water capital! Liuchuan sightseeing cruise, you can visit the entire Liuchuan, the boatman is funny and humorous! Salmon rice is also a famous thing here, there are many famous salmon rice restaurants!
Very beautiful river 😂 Come here, please be sure to experience their cruise ship and salmon rice is very interesting 🥰🥰
Go to Liuchuan, must take a boat tour with the same eel rice, Benji house eel rice is really good food, must try!
