-What You Can Expect-

Hop on a wooden boat and cruise along the scenic Yanagawa River in the south of Fukuoka. This river surrounded the Yan Chuan castle about 400 years ago during the political era and still retains the ancient water controls. While taking the boat down the river, catch sight of the bridge that is designed to let the water flow out of the narrow outlet and expand the water flow. The sea tide fluctuates up to 6 meters between the high and low tides. The whole city is surrounded with about 100 dams. In the event of high tides, the dams will protect the inner cities from becoming overflooded. This sophisticated water system protects all areas around the Yan River. Come and witness this man-made creation. Let the local boatsman bring you on a romantic tour of the Yanagawa River and at the same time come across ancient political heritage sites and legacies. Book now and enjoy the marvels and fun at Yanagawa River!

-Important Info-

Every year, there is a “Water Drainage Period” when the water in the canals is drained for maintenance. For 2025, this period will occur from 4:00 pm on February 12 to the end of the day on February 2. During the Water Drainage Period, the section of the river beyond the sluice gate on the downstream course will be unavailable.
As a result, the route will be shortened to a round-trip course of approximately 30 minutes, departing from the Shimohyakucho boarding area, traveling to the sluice gate, and returning to the same dock.
The pricing will remain the same despite the shorter route. If this is acceptable to you, we are happy to proceed with your reservation.
