Land of Fruit, City of History

Watch slideshow

The city of Asakura is located in a rural area through which the Chikugo River flows, said to be the largest river basin in Kyushu. It is about an hour’s drive from Fukuoka City. The region is also home to historical areas such as Akizuki, a castle town known as “the Little Kyoto of Chikuzen.” It is popular for its vegetables and fruit, nurtured by the area’s blessed natural environment, and the Harazuru hot spring, which boasts the highest volume of spring water in the prefecture—a perfect way to unwind after exploring the area.

<Activities>
Many farms offer hands-on activities, providing visitors with a wide range of fun experiences. Participants have the opportunity to engage in agriculture-related activities such as rice planting, harvesting, planting potatoes, fruit picking, and vegetable harvesting. They can also take part in forestry-related activities like mushroom cultivation and forest maintenance, as well as livestock-related activities, including caring for goats and ponies. Additionally, there is the rare chance to witness traditional cormorant fishing, which continues to be practiced on the Chikugo River.
