Highlights

Yame

Yame is a city on Japan’s Kyushu island. It's known for its hillside green-tea plantations. To the northeast, waterfalls cascade over craggy rocks in forested Choonnotaki Park. South, huge Hyugami Dam is surrounded by rugged mountains. Southwest of the city, Kiyomizudera Temple has an ornate pagoda and lush gardens with bold fall colors. Iwatoyama Tumulus is an ancient tomb site in the shape of a large keyhole.

Yanagawa

Yanagawa is a city located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. 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. 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.
