Kyushu is the southernmost of Japan’s four major islands. The island is divided into seven prefectures, each with their own unique appeal. From the vibrant and energetic city of Fukuoka in the north, through the traditional ryokan and hot springs of Oita, past historic Kumamoto, all the way down to natural paradise Kagoshima in the south, this volcanic island really does have something for everyone.
Easily traversable by Shinkansen, Kyushu has a wealth of natural beauty, history, food and culture that is so distinct from the main island of Honshu that it almost feels like another country. Make sure not to miss out on your next trip to Japan. If you’re visiting in July, the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival is a must see with its giant floats. Also worth checking out are Kagoshima’s Sengan-en gardens.
