Kyushu Fall Foliage and Sumo Tournament 2020

November 10-18, 2020 - Escorted from Honolulu

From: $2,995 per person double or triple occupancy; $3,295 single occupancy


Wind chimes and icy colors are essential in summer. Then its autumn, when a host of goodies are harvested one after the other. Autumn in Japan is magnificent. It may even be more visually stunning than the cherry blossoms of spring, maybe.

 

This Kyushu Fall Foliage Explorer is one you do not want to miss. This refreshed tour itinerary includes some of the best fall foliage viewing spots and activities that Kyushu has to offer. We begin and end on in one of Kyushu’s favorite cities, Hakata offering just enough night life and great shopping. In addition, there are visits to three onsen towns, Sujiyu, Beppu and Yufuin. No Kyushu tour is ever complete without Kumamoto and the addition of an overnight stay in Saga, while relatively unknown, it is packed with its own charms.

 

Foliage viewing includes the 5-star rated Mt. Aso Daikanbo Peak Observatory, a drive along the Panorama Line to Mt. Aso, a ride on the resort train, Yufuin no mori, from Yufuin to Hakata and a gondola-like boat cruise on the Yanagawa River.

 

Ah, but so much more! We have seats to the Fukuoka Grand Sumo Tournament. It’s the last major tournament of the year as wrestlers battle it out for 15 days to decide the eventual championship.  

 

Another unique addition, Hibikinada Green Park, it’s theme of “encountering water, greenery, and animals.” The parks’ centerpiece, the rose garden with 320 different kinds of roses and 2500 rose plants. There’s also, Hibiki Animal World with approximately 250 kangaroos that you can touch and feed, along with wallabies and wallaroo. In the Tropical House, get up close and personal with water dragons, chameleons, and other tropical reptiles. There’s also a variety of birds and a butterfly museum. Hibikinada Green Park truly has something to offer everyone!
