－ What You Can Expect －

• Suigou Yanagawa River Cruise
  
  Located about an hour's drive from central Fukuoka, Yanagawa is a water town
  crisscrossed by a 60-kilometer canal network spanning a 2-square-kilometer
  area. The highlight of sightseeing in Yanagawa is a relaxing "river cruise"
  aboard a traditional donko-bune (traditional punt). As you drift along the
  canals for about an hour, covering roughly 3 kilometers, you can enjoy the
  boatman’s songs and commentary while taking in the gentle sounds of the water.
  With around 200 donko-bune operating throughout the town, you’ll see boats
  gliding by and boatmen tending to their vessels. From December to February,
  kotatsu-bune (boats equipped with heated tables) are also available, letting
  you enjoy the winter scenery in comfort

• The operating route is a U-turn course from [Shimohyaku-cho ~ Namikura ~ Shimohyaku-cho]

  
  

• The duration is approximately 60 minutes. After checking in for your cruise, there may be a waiting time of up to 30 minutes before departure

  
  

• For an additional fee of JPY300 per adult and JPY150 per child, you can change to a one-way course to Ohana. This course also takes approximately 60 minutes. However, the one-way course to Ohana is only available for the 10:40 am departure

  
  

• There is a free shuttle bus service between Shimohyaku-cho and Ohana, so regardless of the course you choose, you can go to Ohana and return to Shimohyaku-cho. The free shuttle bus operates from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm

  
  

－ 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
