Yanagawa City, on the coast of the Ariake Sea, has always been famous for riverboat rides, poetry, and the delicate flavors of unagi (eel). You may well be tempted to combine all three. You wouldn’t be the first to try. One man who splashed around in a Yanagawa punt was little-known UK musician John Lennon. Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono, is the granddaughter of Yanagawa native, Yosuke Ono, and the oarsman of your boat should be happy to point out her ancestral home if you offer him a substantial slice of your eel.

Yanagawa is approximately 45 minutes south of Fukuoka. Take the train from the Nishitestu Station in Tenjin
