"Going Down the River (Moat Patrol)" is a Part of Life in Yanagawa

The waterway that allows people to go down to the river is called "Horiwari", which is a landscape nurtured by the wisdom and history of the people of Yanagawa. #柳川 Once located in the Ariake Sea, the ancestors gradually formed a unique terrain since the Yayoi period. Land was created by digging and pumping water to ensure a living place. People accumulated rainwater during the excavation and used it as drinking water and agricultural water. In addition, it is also an indispensable means of transportation, so the river is not only a tourist attraction, but also a part of life that has a deep connection with people's lives. The charm of the river (moat) is not just the beautiful scenery. The boatman's skill in judging the boatmanship with a rod and the lively narration and songs also deepen the style. Listening to the boatman, you can get a deeper understanding of the history, culture, and people's lives in Yanagawa. 📍Address: 35 Okibata-cho, Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture Notes: Boarding point: There are 5 places around Okibata (Ohana) Time required: About 30 to 40 minutes Fee: Adults 1,000 yen to 2,000 yen Children 500 yen to 1,000 yen Depending on the shipping company, you can also make a reservation for a private place.
