Insider tip — 'Mizu no Sato; Yanagawa Onsen Minamikaze' (南風 — south wind) at the Yanagawa Sogo Hoken Fukushi Center in Yanagawa — the 'Venice of Kyushu.' Yanagawa's ancient network of canals (over 470 km) is navigated by donko-bune flat-bottomed boats year-round. The city was birthplace of poet Kitahara Hakushu (1885-1942). The 'south wind' name evokes the warm sea air from Ariake Bay that fills Yanagawa's willow-lined waterways. The thermal spring here serves this canal city's waterfront community.
