Even if it is not the cherry blossom season, Yanagawa still exudes its unique charm. Strolling along the quiet river, you will feel the peaceful atmosphere, as if time has slowed down. The boat ride here is still refreshing, with the river water lapping against the boat as if playing a piece of natural music.

[Kyushu Yanagawa] Eating eel rice in a steamer at a century-old restaurant, spring outing Hina Matsuri Festival
After disembarking at Yanagawa ~ Okinawa Pier
There are several old eel shops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait
Wakamatsuya, Folk Art Tea House Six Riders, Benjiya, etc.
We went to the most famous
After getting the ticket, I wandered around and waited for about 20 minutes for a table
Upstairs the traditional Japanese-style tatami
The set includes the most basic eel rice🤤
You can also order Dasheng or Extra Eel Rice for an additional fee
Steamed eel rice originated in Yanagawa, which is different from the way of yaki
Instead, the rice is first mixed into the secret sauce and steamed once.
Then put the grilled eel and egg strips on top and steam again
Come had to try the local steamed eel rice
And the rice - the secret sauce is perfectly steamed into the rice, like cooking rice
Moist and sweet covered with eel sauce, a little like sticky rice, very appetizing ~
The yuko eel in the shop is also worthy of praise🥚
It turned out to be Mi🐽Lin's recommendation, world-class eel rice
It's better than Nagoya's eel rice!
Although you are traveling, do not be stingy, order the tastiest and largest portion to eat
But this time I strongly recommend that you do not need to pay extra to switch to Dasheng,
Because it ✨package✨ is this portion for a reason,
✨ (Yagikawa day trip package bought by West Rail Tenjin
Includes round trip ticket to West Rail Tenjin and Yanagawa.
A set meal from 8 designated eel restaurants)✨
Switching to the special serve is really full to the throat 🤣!
Remember to check it out before you leave
Their Daughter's Day doll decorations 🎎
After your meal, go ahead and queue for the free bus🚌
(For those who bought the package, get on the bus and issue the end of the ticket)
Every right time (i.e. 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00)
There is a free bus back to outside the store
Or the package has a coupon discount to call 🚕 (DiDi) back to the station
(You can ask the clerk to call it for you)
Next stop we go to
(Tickets to Dazaifu are not included in the package
but you can take a bus to the Dazaifu Station ticket office to make up for it)
Or you can take the West Rail directly back to Tenshin💫
Overall, this eel rice is very characteristic.
And it was very delicious, there was a reason for the long queues
Personally, I think it's more worth trying again than Nagoya's eel rice

Yanagawa boat experience
#experienceactivities
Yanagawa is a city located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and a tourist destination famous for its beautiful canals and traditional boats. The most important thing to come here is to experience the local boatman's boat. Taking a traditional "boatman's boat", you can enjoy a cruise on the Yanagawa Canal and appreciate the beautiful scenery and traditional architecture along the coast. The most important thing is to see the skills of the boatmen. , every time they pass some super short bridge, they will jump on the bridge and then jump back on the boat, which is very powerful.

Canal-side Charm and Culinary Bliss in Yanagawa
#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.

Yanagawa 300-year-old store｜Original Motoyoshiya Main Store · Special steamed eel rice
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 😋😋😋

Recommended one-day itinerary for strolling Yanagawa
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.
