Asakura City, located near the center of Fukuoka Prefecture, is a place where historical townscapes and rich waterside scenery heal the hearts of visitors. The town's symbol, the "Asakura Triple Waterwheel," is famous as one of the oldest active waterwheels in Japan, and the landscape where water and human wisdom harmonize gives travelers overwhelming historical weight and peace. Also, the townscape of Akizuki is called "Little Kyoto of Chikuzen," and the time spent quietly strolling through the atmosphere of the historic castle town is a blissful moment to face Japan's traditional aesthetics away from the bustle of the city. Enveloped in clean water and the colors of the four seasons, it is a hidden sanctuary where you can gently reset your heart and body.
