  • Seasonal itinerary:
    – January 7 to April 30: Strawberry season, visit the strawberry farm.
    – May 1 to December 31: Visit Takeo Library & Takeo Shrine.

Starting May 1st, visit Takeo Library, which offers rich content and activities. The impressive space extends to the second floor and is known for pioneering a stylish café inside the library. Outside, there is a lawn where locals come to relax and enjoy themselves. 

Takeo Shrine has a history of 1,300 years and is reputed for prayers related to love and good luck. Next to the shrine’s main hall stands a 3,000-year-old camphor tree, known as the “Takeo Giant Camphor,” ranked seventh among Japan’s largest trees.

From January 4 to the end of April, visit Kyushu’s largest strawberry farm to pick fresh, sweet strawberries and enjoy nature’s bounty. Here, the strawberries are not only delicious but also carry a rich countryside charm, letting you experience the peaceful sweetness of rural life.

POO Strawberry Farm (costs not included): Cultivated varieties include Amaou, Koi MINORI, Dimple, Oishii C Berry, Red Cheek, KAORINO, Four Stars, Saga Honoka, Akihime, Hoshi URARA, and Hoshi Yoru. Strawberry all-you-can-eat ticket prices: January 7 to April 6: Adults 2,500 JPY (2,000 JPY on weekdays), Children 2,000 JPY (1,500 JPY on weekdays), free for children under 4 years old. April 7 to April 30: Adults 2,000 JPY (1,500 JPY on weekdays), Children 1,500 JPY (1,000 JPY on weekdays), free for children under 4 years old.

Next, you will head to Yanagawa to experience a unique activity — a boat cruise. Ride a traditional wooden boat as it gently glides along the clear waterways, with lush green trees and historic buildings lining both sides, allowing you to fully appreciate the distinctive charm of this water town.

Cost: Depending on the duration and the operator, the price ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 JPY per person (self-paid).

  • Recommended lunch in Yanagawa area:

Yanagawa’s popular specialty is eel rice, a dish deeply rooted in the region’s culinary tradition. Here are some renowned restaurants loved by locals, known for their charming, traditional atmospheres:
Gansomotoyoshiya: Established in 1681, this original restaurant has preserved its unique sauce recipe for over 300 years, maintaining traditional cooking methods since its founding.
Wakamatsuya: Operating since 1860, this restaurant offers a fluffy texture where eel, sauce, and white rice blend perfectly, with every grain infused with eel flavor.
Unagidokoro Kawayoshi: Located by part of the moat and alongside rows of willow trees—hence the name Yanagawa—this restaurant serves bamboo-steamed eel and a variety of other eel dishes.

Finally, the tour visits Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, the main shrine dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning, revered across Japan with about 12,000 Tenmangu shrines nationwide. It is the largest shrine in Kyushu and attracts many visitors from home and abroad. Nearby is the Kyushu National Museum, offering further cultural insight.
