Yanagawa (柳川市, Yanagawa-shi) is a city located in Fukuoka, Japan.
On March 21, 2005 the towns of Yamato and Mitsuhashi, both from Yamato District, were merged into Yanagawa.
As of 2009, the city has an estimated population of 72,981 and the population density of 949.04 persons per km². The total area is 76.90 km².
Yanagawa is popular with Japanese tourists because of its 470 km of wide canals. Yanagawa riverboats, called donkobune, are used to take tourists around the city. In 1987 a video documentary was created by Studio Ghibli about these canals and their restoration. The Story of Yanagawa's Canals (柳川掘割物語, Yanagawa horiwari monogatari) is widely available and includes English subtitles.
Yanagawa was originally constructed in the mid-16th century by the Kamachi clan. Before then, it had been a traditional farming village, with the canals used for irrigation; Tanaka Yoshimasa ordered the canals to be maintained and built a castle in Yanagawa, which is still maintained today. The modern city was founded on April 1, 1952.
Yanagawa is the birthplace of Kitahara Hakushu, a Meiji era poet and writer of children's songs. An annual three day festival is held every November in Yanagawa complete with poetry readings, fireworks, music, and a great number of evening boat rides. During this festival, most activities begin from Shimohyaku Town and center at the Hiyoshi Shinto Shrine. In addition, Hakushu's birth house is located in Yanagawa and open to the public for tours. The Yanagawa Municipal Folk Museum is mainly dedicated to preservation of Hakushu-sensei's works and memorabilia.
During the months of March and April, Yanagawa also plays host to a number of festivals, most notably Hinamatsuri or Girls' Festival on March 3rd. A great number of finely crafted Heian era styled dolls are placed on display in a number of private homes, shops, and businesses throughout the city. During this time, a number of local citizens actually open up their homes to the public, allowing people to come and see their elaborate decorations and displays.
We live on this beautiful planet, Mother Earth, breathe the same air, and drink the same water. We are all brothers and sisters and members of the human family.
Life is a precious gift to enjoy, celebrate, and appreciate! Life is a choice, and we need to choose to be happy! We make things happen by wishing them! Ask, Believe, then Receive! Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated! Thank you!
I appreciate the people who can respect our differences and can treat others with respect, gratitude, good manner and positive attitude! Thank you for reading this note, and thank you for choosing to see my pictures and to watch my videos! Have a wonderful day to you all!

Kokugakuin University is a center for Japanese cultural studies.
Many valuable items relating to Japanese culture are in the collection of the Kokugakuin University Museum.
Let’s begin with the archaeological artifacts...
Flame style pottery.This style is characterized by flame-like patterns.
The people of the Jomon Period made these three-dimensional vessels for practical use.The emergence and popularization of earthenware that allowed people to cook food likely enriched
the spiritual lives of the people.This Bronze bell is a festival tool representative of the Yayoi period.These tools at first were meant to be actually struck and rung, but they are thought to have gradually grown in size.
Next, on to the Shinto collection...
First, a byobue from the Edo period. This shows the Sannou Festival at Hiyoshi Taisha in Shiga Prefecture.To the right, we see a portable shrine being carried through the town accompanied by members of the local populace.To the left are scenes portraying offerings being made to deities above on Lake Biwa.
Twelve examples of artificial flowers that are offered to the deities at the Iwashimizu Festival at Iwashimizu Hachimangu, Kyoto are lined up here.
Next, we turn to the collection of items relating to the history of
Kokugakuin University...
There are several items on display relating to the Arisugawanomiya family, including Prince Takahito Arisugawanomiya, who was the first president of Kokugakuin University's parent organization, Kotenkokyusho(the Research Institute for Japanese Classics). Additionally, there are items dating back to the founding of Kokugakuin University as well as from individuals involved in its development.
Event
Special and temporary exhibitions take a variety of approaches to present results of scholarly research to the public. Events such as workshops and lectures enable participants to gain a deeper understanding of the world of scholarship. The Kokugakuin University Museum is an important location where visitors can learn about Japanese culture through a rich collection of objects that range in age from ancient times to the present day.
Osaka to Yokohama Solo Cycling Adventure - March 2013
On March 15th, 2013, after months of preparation, I took my Japanese road bike on a bullet train to Shin-Osaka Station and set out to return to my home in Hiyoshi, Yokohama over the next 11 days.
This was my first cycling trip over 30 miles, and I knew the mental battle would be the toughest part, but my good friend Naofumi Murata helped me prepare everything from gear and technique to sightseeing and reading a Japanese map. I had no set plans of where I would stay each night, but rather estimated each morning how far I could get that day and reserved various youth hostels, guest houses, business hotels or even manga cafes when necessary. In any case, I had to be home for a placement test the morning after my set return date :P
Spring was just starting so there were various cherry blossoms everywhere along the way, but that also meant there was cold and heavy rain on some days. Each day was a completely different and incredible adventure, as I never had much idea of what to expect. I met and made various friends along the way, who's company I really couldn't have done without and who I know will remain good friends for years and years to come :)
It's kinda hard to keep up with the pics, but this is roughly where I was each day:
Day 1: Shin-Osaka Station, Osaka Castle, bike 61 km to Nara Park
Day 2: Various shrine, temples, and sightseeing destinations in Nara, including the largest Buddha statue in Japan, bike to Kyoto (90 km)
Day 3: Kyoto - Nijo Castle, Kitatenmangu, Ryoanji Zen Temple and Rock Garden, Kinkakuji (The Golden Pavilion), Ginkakaji (The Silver Pavilion), The Philosopher's Path, The Higashiyama District Hanatoro Event, Kiyomizudera Night Illumination, The Gion Geisha District, Yasaka Shrine, Tenruiji Zen Temple, stay another night in Kyoto (34 km)
Day 4: The Shrine of 1,001 Buddhas, Lake Biwa (heavy rain), Omihachiman Youth Hostel, (71 km)
Day 5: Lake Biwa Log Cabin restaurant Chalet, Okishima Island, Hikone Castle, Ogaki Business Hotel (93 km)
Day 6: Nagoya, Osu underground shopping district, Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture Manga Cafe (110 km)
Day 7: Takeshima Island, Takeshima Aquarium, Orange Park, Strawberry hunting, Experimental Tangerine Farm, Gamagori Hot Spring, Hamanako Lake (90 km)
Day 8: Wake up late with a flat tire, then bike all day to the Backpacker's Furyu Guest House in the Shizuoka mountains (95 km)
Day 9: Oden village with new friends, first cherry blossom sightings, strawberry hunting, Miho Beach (famous for views of Mt. Fuji), 600 year old oak tree forest, green bean picking, stay another night in Shizuoka (0 km)
Day 10: Miho Beach again, climb the youth hostel at the top of the notorious Hakone mountains (120 km)
Day 11: Rain and a flat tire upon descent of Hakone mountain, Hakone Yumoto gift shops, and successfully arrive in Hiyoshi (100 km)

Kanchanaburi, boat trip from River Kwai bridge to Chungkai War Cemetery, Thailand. ( 24 )
Bridge over the River Kwai
Located some 3 km north of Kanchanaburi (down New Zealand Road, off Saeng Chuto Road), this iron bridge (Saphan Mae Nam Kwae) across the Kwai Yai River is the main attraction for many visitors. Immortalized in the famous movie and novel, it was a part of the infamous Death Railway to Burma, constructed by POWs working for the Japanese in hellish conditions during World War II. Some 16,000 POWs and 90,000 Asian workers (most of them enslaved) died during the railway construction. The present iron bridge is the second wartime incarnation (a part of the original can be found in the War Museum), but two central 'boxy' spans were rebuilt after the war to replace three sections destroyed by Allied bombing.
You can cross the bridge on foot. While the centre of the track has been thoughtfully turned into a steel-plated walkway and there are little side platforms between the spans for sightseeing and avoiding trains. There are guardrails, but some areas of the bridge lack them, so be careful of small children! Off the end of the bridge, you can feed or ride an elephant bare-back at negotiated price of 600 Baht per ride. At May 2010, the elephant was kept on a short chain, and had to stand in its own waste products.
As the bridge is still used locally, it is possible to take one of the trains that cross the bridge every day. The ride from Nam Tok (the train line's terminus) to River Kwai Bridge station takes a bit longer than 2 hours.
World War II
Pretty much all the sights in Kanchanaburi itself are directly related to World War II. The museums are dusty and generally not worth it, except for the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, which gives a good introduction of the Death Railway and its history. There are also two war cemeteries, the most moving of which is the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
Chongkai War Cemetery, (either bargain with a taxi or rent a bicycle to get there; it's at the west side of the river). A neatly maintained smaller cemetery 2 km out of town along the road that leads to Wat Thaopoom. This is the final resting place of Dutch and British forces.
Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (Don Rak), Saeng Chuto Rd (opposite the railway station) 07:00-14:00. This is the final resting place of almost 7,000 POWs who gave their life for the construction of the Death Railway to Burma. All POWs at this site are from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia. After World War II, the Allies decided to move all the buried POWs along the railway line to two war cemeteries in Kanchanaburi as they would be easier to maintain in a good condition. It is a sombre, yet very peaceful reminder of what went on here. The graves are set up in straight lines with neatly kept lawns. Some of the graves have a moving personal inscription. However, note that during the rainy seasons access to graves themselves may be closed to prevent damage to the grounds. If you have relatives buried there permission can be sought to enter the cemetery. An alternative is the Chong Kai cemetery which is always open. Both grounds are immaculately maintained. Free.
Thailand-Burma Railway Centre, 73 Jaokannun Rd (next to Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, near the south of Mae Nam Khae Road), ☎ +66 3 451 2721, 09:00-17:00 daily. Generally considered to be the best source of information regarding World War II in Thailand, railway construction and route, and the conditions endured by POWs and Asian labourers. Very moving exhibits, including video and interactive displays. A visit takes at least one hour, and probably longer if you want to read everything. Fee includes a free coffee or tea at upstairs cafe, where you can sit at the window bench overlooking the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. It is a good place to sit and reflect after your tour of the centre. 120 baht. edit
World War II Museum and Art Gallery, Mae Nam Khwae Rd (about 50 m from the Bridge over the River Kwai). 08:30-17:30 daily. This well-signposted complex houses a bizarre collection of museums and exhibits, most of which are poorly maintained and labeled. To your left as you enter is the War Museum, a 4 storey building encrusted with statues, which starts off with a little Burmese shrine but is mostly devoted to pre-WW2 Thai history through the ages and is filled with wall paintings of Kings and racks of rusty pistols. There are good views of the bridge from the roof of the riverside building. Above the WW2 museum is the most bizarre section, housing (among other things) dusty stamp collections and a gallery with wall paintings of all Miss Thailand winners. The World War II and (old) JEATH Museum is lurking in the basement. 40 Baht.
