Yanagawa 
Glide through willow-lined canals, discover centuries of history, and experience the tranquil charm of one of Kyushu's most atmospheric waterside towns.
Often called the "Venice of Kyushu", Yanagawa is a charming canal town in southern Fukuoka Prefecture where life has revolved around the water for centuries. Originally developed as part of a castle town's moat system, the waterways now provide the setting for leisurely boat rides guided by local boatmen, who often entertain passengers with traditional songs. Beyond the canals, you can explore historic merchant districts, learn about the poet Kitahara Hakushu, and sample the city's famous steamed eel.
