Hi, I’m Tabi!
In Okawa, Fukuoka, a lift bridge over the Chikugo River and a historic residence reveal the riverside setting and local history. Check bridge access and house-visiting guidance separately.
This guide covers places within Okawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Chikugo River Lift Bridge
筑後川昇開橋
A former railway bridge whose center span rises above the river. Follow current operating and pedestrian-access guidance. The September 2011 photo shows the raised span and does not imply the bridge is always walkable.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
This historic residence in Kobo offers insight into local history and architecture. The October 2014 photo shows its gate and boundary wall. Check current interior access and closing days.

Etsu fish from the lower Chikugo River is an early-summer specialty in Okawa. The tourism association describes a roughly May-to-July season. Do not assume autumn availability; check seasonal menus and reservations.
