The operation of “Kotatsu Boat”, a brazier on a famous sightseeing river descending boat, has started in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, known as Suigo.

In Yanagawa City, every year in December, a “kotatsu boat” that allows you to enjoy the descending river while warming up is visible, and it has become a masterpiece of the season.

Kotatsu is made by placing a brazier with charcoal under a long and narrow table on a boat, and putting a blanket or futon on it.

Yanagawa City on the 1st was a warm day when the temperature during the day exceeded 18 degrees Celsius, but there is still a cool air that makes you feel like a teacher in the approximately 4 kilometer moat that is the river course. It was.

Tourists from Taiwan and elsewhere enjoyed the scenery of willows along the river, relaxing on a kotatsu.

A couple in their 70s who came from Kanagawa Prefecture said, “I feel really happy when I put them in kotatsu.”

The “Kotatsu Boat” in Yanagawa City will be operated until the end of February next year except on rainy days.
