2025 Yanagawa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

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 #japanattractions #wakamatsuya #yanagawa #kyushu attractions #eel rice #century-old shop #missta #misstalove cooking #misstalovecooking

Starting from Fukuoka, our long-awaited day trip to Yanagawa began. The morning sunlight gently streamed through the window, softly illuminating our faces. We took the express train, traveling through beautiful countryside scenery, and arrived in Yanagawa after about 50 minutes. As soon as we got off the train, the cool air felt like a refreshing spring, invigorating our spirits and lifting our moods. Exiting Yanagawa Station, we followed the signs to the boat boarding area, and the scenery along the way was a delightful surprise. Both sides of the street were lined with flourishing cherry blossom trees, their pink petals gently falling with the breeze, creating a romantic shower of petals as if blessing our journey. The cherry blossoms here were not only beautiful but also exuded a faint fragrance, intoxicating us and making us feel as if we were in a dreamy fairy tale world. We boarded a small boat called the 'Donko Boat' and began our waterway journey. The boatman skillfully rowed the boat, introducing the history and scenery of Yanagawa along the way. His voice was as clear as a bell, bringing joy to our hearts. The willow trees on both sides swayed with the wind, and the spring flowers bloomed like girls in festive attire, competing to blossom. This picturesque scene made me eagerly take out my camera to capture these wonderful moments. On the boat, we passed through low gates, listening to the boatman's witty remarks, feeling particularly joyful. The shimmering water reflected the surrounding cherry blossoms, making the entire scenery even more gentle and dreamy. As the boat moved along, we also saw many traditional local buildings. The white-walled, black-tiled houses, set against the cherry blossom trees, seemed to take us through a tunnel of time, allowing us to feel the ancient charm. After about 70 minutes, we disembarked and went to a famous local restaurant to taste Yanagawa's specialty dish - steamed eel rice. The fragrant eel and rice silently blended in the steamer, creating a delicious taste that seemed to tell the story of Yanagawa with every bite, leaving us with endless aftertastes. After the delicious lunch, we strolled through Yanagawa Park, where the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom. Groups of tourists were taking photos under the trees, creating a lively picture. The sunlight filtered through the petals, casting dappled shadows, making us feel the breath of spring, filling our hearts with joy and gratitude. This day trip to Yanagawa not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful cherry blossoms and unique water town scenery but also to taste the local cuisine, making it an unforgettable experience. On the train back to Fukuoka, the scenery outside the window flowed like a moving picture, and my heart was filled with beautiful memories of Yanagawa, looking forward to revisiting this beautiful land and reliving the romance of spring.

✔️OHANA, a famous yakiniku restaurant near Fukuoka It's located in an alley where local shops are located, so it's hard to find, but the taste is twice as good because it's hard to find! The interior design, which gives a strong taste and a strong impression in a small space, makes you want to visit again ~ The beef tongue that you can eat in Japan is thickly sliced ​​and the texture is very nice👍👍#yakiniku #fukuoka

The 'Yanagawa Domain Lord Tachibana Residence, Ohana' was built in 1738 by the 5th lord of Yanagawa, Tachibana Sadatomo. Today, it has been transformed into a ryotei (traditional high-class Japanese restaurant) inn, still operated by the Tachibana family. During the Meiji era (1868-1912), the Tachibana family was granted the title of Count, and it was during this period that the foundation for the current appearance of 'Ohana' was established. Spanning approximately 7,000 tsubo (about 23,000 square meters), the entire area is designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty in Japan. Within the grounds, there are buildings such as the 'Western-style Pavilion' and the 'Great Hall' built during the Meiji era, as well as the 'Shotoen' garden adorned with pine trees, all preserving the appearance from 100 years ago.

#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. #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #FUGANG #yanagawa

Yanagawa City is located in the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is a famous water capital in Japan. Artificial rivers crisscross the city, forming a special and beautiful scenery. Yanagawa's "cruise boat" activity is quite famous. You can enjoy the quaint streetscape and scenery along the way from different angles, making people feel the strong water town culture and natural beauty. Taking a boat along the winding river, the scenery on both sides is picturesque, with green trees and blooming flowers, especially during the cherry blossom season. On the boat, the ferryman's ferrying skills are impressive. They are not only drivers, but also tour guides. They tell tourists about the history and legends of Yanagawa, and they can also sing local folk songs to create an atmosphere. #takeship #100 Ways to Travel
