Kyushu Region (九州地方)

Kyushu, the third-largest island in Japan, is a vibrant and dynamic region that offers a wealth of culture, energy, and diverse activities. With convenient access by land, sea, and air, visitors can easily explore this captivating island. Kyushu is renowned for its tonkotsu ramen, soothing hot springs, breathtaking mountains, and picturesque beaches. While Fukuoka stands out as a thriving startup hub, the southern part of the island boasts rugged volcanic landscapes that have given rise to eight hot spring areas collectively known as Beppu Onsen, as well as stunning mountain ranges like Kirishima. Kyushu strikes a perfect balance between modernity and traditional living, making it an ideal destination to discover at a relaxed and leisurely pace. Travelers can venture to the southern part of the island to unwind amidst spectacular natural beauty, experience unique local culture, and savor the delightful cuisine.
