Experience Tranquility and Nature at the “Dangoan” Riverside Terrace in Asakura

　Asakura City in Fukuoka Prefecture is known for its beautiful nature and peaceful atmosphere. One of its most popular attractions is dining on a riverside terrace, called “Kawadoko.” In this post, we’ll introduce you to one of the top spots, “Dangoan.”

What is Kawadoko?

Kawadoko is a seating area right by the river, where you can enjoy a meal while listening to the sound of flowing water. Depending on the season, you can see fresh greenery in spring, cool breezes in summer, colorful autumn leaves, and clear winter skies. Each visit feels special as the scenery changes throughout the year.

Why Visit Dangoan?

Dangoan is a well-known spot in Asakura, loved for its traditional Japanese atmosphere. The wooden building sits by the river, offering a view that feels like stepping back in time. The restaurant uses fresh local ingredients, with dishes like grilled river fish and their famous dumplings. These simple, tasty meals keep people coming back.

Enjoy River Activities

Besides dining, Dangoan offers guests the chance to enjoy the river itself. In the warmer months, you can take part in river activities like wading in the shallow waters, cooling off in the summer heat, or simply dipping your feet in the refreshing stream. It’s a great way to connect with nature and adds to the relaxing experience.

If you’re looking for a peaceful dining experience surrounded by nature, and even want to enjoy the river itself, be sure to visit Dangouan in Asakura!
