Indonesian influencers Stefi and Ayu's Fukuoka trip continues! On the second day of their visit, they went to the riverside city of Yanagawa. This well-known sightseeing spot is popular among overseas visitors. If you visit, be sure to experience "kawakudari" (river cruising)! There are multiple spots to get on the boats and various routes available! "Yanagawa" is famous for "kawakudari" and the traditional donko-bune boats that travel along the narrow canals. The area was once prosperous as a castle town and the city has maintained some of features from that time, helping to create a charming landscape. A gently rocking boat is a wonderful place to view the old buildings that still stand and the delightful white grid patterned "Namako walls"!

There are various places to get on the boats that go around the canals and a number of routes available! Experiencing "kawakudari" (river cruising) during a visit to Yanagawa is pretty straightforward! Boats with a "kotatsu" (table frame covered by a big blanket) on board are available to hire when the weather gets cold! Why not head over to Yanagawa and enjoy a relaxing boat ride? The canals stretch out to approximately 930km in length, providing all kinds of views of the local area. You'll be able to take in the scenery whatever time of year you visit!
