Night Time Cruising in Yanagawa’s Canals START: Jul 16, 2021 END: Sep 30, 2021
The atmospheric summer-night cruise welcomes guests onto lantern-lit gondolas that quietly glide through the city’s waterways. The 70-minute tour is even more enjoyable with some drinks and snacks – so bring whatever you want to eat or drink. This year, each gondola will carry only a maximum of ten persons (half their regular capacity) to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

Aeon Kyushu announced the introduction of a cashier-less shopping system at one of its supermarkets in Fukuoka. On July 28, shoppers at Aeon Hara Shop in Sawara Ward can use an application to calculate their purchasing prices while selecting items.
