Come experience Yanagawa from its best vantage point—the water. You'll glide along historic canals in a traditional 'donko-bune' boat, expertly poled by a boatman who fills the air with local songs. As you drift under weeping willows and past old storehouses, you'll see the town's scenery change with the seasons, from spring's cherry blossoms to the cozy heated boats of winter.
