Okawa

The Chikugo River defines the setting of Okawa — its broad lower course has shaped a low-lying city of farmland, working riverbanks and settlements in southern Fukuoka Prefecture. Okawa is one of Japan’s best-known furniture-manufacturing centres, with workshops and showrooms reflecting a longstanding local woodworking tradition rather than a tourism-led identity. The river also links the city to the Ariake Sea, whose tidal waters influence the surrounding plain. For a closer sense of local craft, seek out Okawa furniture stores and exhibitions beyond the waterfront.
