About This Tour

Experience the history and culture of Fukuoka, Kyushu region's largest city! In the morning, visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, which is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning and the arts, and has a rich history of over 1,100 years. It is a popular sightseeing destination that combines traditional Japanese culture with the beauty of nature. In the afternoon, visit Yanagawa, a castle town that has existed since the Edo period (1603-1868). It is famous for being a historical "city of water," featuring river boat rides along the canals. On this tour, go on a special river cruise experience aboard a charter boat and enjoy Japanese-style teatime while taking in the view of the quaint streetscapes. Drop in at Yanagawa Ohana, which conveys the dignity and beauty of a feudal lord's residence from the Edo period to the modern age, and experience the samurai culture from the past.
