[Saga] Fukuoka: Half-Day Private Guided Yanagawa with Canal Cruise and Grilled Eel Lunch

• Yanagawa is known as the “City of Waterways” because there are many beautiful canals, or moats, running throughout the city. One of the best ways to experience Yanagawa is by taking a river cruise, also called a “moat tour.”
  
  
• During the cruise, you will ride in a small boat and travel along the peaceful canals. This unique tour lets you see Yanagawa from a lower viewpoint, close to the water, which is different from walking around the city. You can relax and enjoy the charming scenery, traditional buildings, and the calm atmosphere of Yanagawa.
  
  
• A local English-speaking guide will accompany the tour from Fukuoka. The tour includes a ticket for the Yanagawa River cruise, lunch of steamed eel in a pot, and a round-trip train ticket.**
  
  

Experience: Yanagawa Canal Boat Ride with a "Kotatsu" Heater. Period: December – February. Highlight: Enjoy the serene Japanese winter scenery from a warm, cozy boat guided by a professional boatman. Dining: Meals are served at the hotel restaurant (not on the boat) before or after the cruise. Note: The castle moat will be drained from Monday, February 16th to Wednesday, February 25th, 2026, so the canal cruise course may be subject to some changes.
