Yanagawa

Yanagawa, known as the world's water town, is an artificial river surrounded by the city. It is criss-crossed in Yanagawa City, with a total distance of 930 kilometers. This man-made river was originally used as a fortress, but also has various functions such as a disaster prevention function such as temporarily storing excess rainwater to prevent flooding of the river, and a water storage function such as water for agriculture and firefighting. Very beneficial to the public. The water there is very shallow, and the depth is not more than one meter. The boat sails down into the wind. Along the way, there are ancient Japanese houses, willows, and spring flowers. The boatman wearing Japanese clothes sings ancient songs in a unique cadence. At this time, if you have a glass of sake in your hand to drink, how comfortable it should be.
