【Private Canal Cruise (Donko-bune)】
Unwind aboard a private "Donko" boat as you float through the historic moat system of Yanagawa, often referred to as the "Venice of Kyushu." Your experienced boatman will skillfully guide you along the picturesque waterways using a single pole, while also sharing traditional songs and local tales. This serene, rhythmic excursion provides a distinct viewpoint on the city’s rich heritage.
【Yanagawa Mari Workshop】
Enter a traditional private home for a personal, 2-hour crafting experience with a local expert. Rather than a conventional classroom, this opportunity immerses you in the genuine atmosphere of a Japanese residence as you learn the intricate art of "Mari." With the teacher's friendly support, you will stitch colorful silk threads to craft your own emblem of harmony. By selecting your unique colors and designs, your completed creation transforms into a distinctive keepsake—a heartfelt reminder of your adventure.
