[Kyushu Yanagawa Tour] Yanagawa cherry blossom viewing by boat Yanagawa Hina Festival Girls' Festival

Day 2 after arriving in Fukuoka, Kyushu
We arranged a day trip to Yanagawa and Dazaifu

The most convenient way to go to Yanagawa Dazaifu is to take the limited express train
You can buy a same-day round-trip Yanagawa package at
Package included
🟠 Same day round trip and tickets
🟠Yanagawa Matsuzuki Ferry Ticket🛶 (One Way)
🟠Selected eel rice set (including 10 old restaurants such as Wakamatsuya)
Box office hours for buying car ticket packages
✨8am ~ 6pm✨

We went to buy tickets at 7pm the night before, and as a result it was closed
(If you want to buy tickets the day before, remember to be early)
So we arrived at 7:45 the next morning and there were already 10 people queuing up outside the door
(Buy tickets early)
After successfully buying the ticket, we went to have breakfast
We take the 9am ✨Special Express✨ Yanagawa
👆🏻50 minutes drive👆🏻

There are also 930am and 10am express buses available
(Missed the express bus also has other services,
Just more intermediate stops, the journey is longer)

10am arrived by express train ~ Yanagawa ~
There is a free bus every 1 hour in front of the station to
However, it is only a 7-8 minute walk by following Google Maps
So we chose to walk to 🚶‍♂️

Early April is the cherry blossom season
On the small bridge to the river, there are several cherry blossoms blowing snow 🌸💮🌸💮
The waiting point is right in front of , during which you can go for a walk ~
Then we boarded the boat
You can borrow a hat to wear before boarding (remember to return it when you disembark).

The boat ride takes about 70 minutes🛶
Along the way the boatman will introduce Yanagawa attractions and features (all in Japanese though 🤣)
She also sings country songs 🎤🎵 (performance is very hard🎶)
The most attractive thing is that during the boat ride, you will cross some relatively short bridges
People who take the boat have to lie down to cross
And the boatman will become a Japanese ninja
Jump onto the bridge, walk across it, and jump back off the boat
Everyone clapped and applauded 👏🏻👏🏻

This boat is one way
Arrive at the disembarkation ~ the wash end pier
There are several old eel shops included in the package on both coasts
Wakamatsuya, Folk Art Tea House Six Riders, and Honjiya.
We went to the most famous
After getting the ticket, I wandered around and waited for about 20 minutes for a table
Upstairs the traditional Japanese-style tatami
The set includes the most basic eel rice🤤
You can also order Dasheng or Extra Eel Rice for an additional fee
The tamagoyaki eel in the shop is also delicious🥚

Although you are traveling, do not be stingy, order the tastiest and largest portion to eat
But this time I strongly recommend that you do not have to pay extra to switch to Dasheng,
Because his package is this portion for a reason.
I switched to Special Serving and I'm so full to my throat 🤣!
Remember to check it out before you leave
Their Daughter's Day doll decorations 🎎

After your meal, go ahead and queue for the free bus🚌
Every right time (i.e. 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00)
There is a free bus back to outside the store
Or the package has a coupon discount to call 🚕 (DiDi) back to the station
(You can ask the shop assistant to call it for you)

Next stop we go to
(Tickets to Dazaifu are not included in the package
but you can take a bus to the Dazaifu Station ticket office to make up for it)
Or you can take the West Rail directly back to Tenshin💫

Overall, this Yanagawa trip comes with a package ticket
I think Yanagawa Tourism is well arranged in this regard 👍🏻
There are all elements of eating, drinking and having fun, for tourists to spend the day🤩
Everyone has a chance to play and eat eel rice~
