Yanagawa, located in the southwest of Fukuoka Prefecture facing the Ariake Sea, is made up of a network of waterways called “canals” that make up 10% of the city’s area, creating a unique Yanagawa atmosphere centered around the canals. During the Edo period, it was developed as a castle town, and the beautiful scenery of “Suigo Yanagawa,” beloved by poet Kitahara Hakushu, has been designated a national place of scenic beauty. A nostalgic space spreads out, evoking the original scenery of Japan.

Yanagawa is roughly divided into three areas: the city area that still retains the appearance of a castle town, the coastal area where you can feel the blessings of the vast ocean, and the northern area where you can enjoy the fusion of tranquil rural scenery and new culture.
