WHAT YOU VISIT
Tachibana Ohana Museum
The museum displays over 5,000 art objects and artifacts that chronicle the 400-year history of the Tachibana clan, the feudal lords who once ruled Chikugo. The exhibits include armor and swords, exquisite clothing, Noh masks and costumes, paintings, scrolls and a stunning collection of dolls.
Yanagawa River Cruise
Explore the city via donko-bune – a gondola-like punt poled by a boatman. Your sightseeing cruise begins along the serene, willow-lined canals that once surrounded old Yanagawa Castle. The castle is long gone, but the sights include old samurai houses, graceful bridges, brick warehouses from the early 20th century and traditional Japanese-style "namako" storehouses. Your boatman points out the sights of interest and recounts the history of this old castle town once ruled by the Tachibana clan.
