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 foliage and Kurisumasu shopping weekend brings out the very best of this region, unique foliage viewing spots and holiday illuminations to get you in the spirit. 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 Hita, Saiki, and two famous hot spring towns, Beppu and Yufuin district.


Foliage viewing includes a walk along Hakata’s Gion Area and the Great Buddha of Fukuoka, the beautiful Usuki Stone Buddhas, the 1300-year-old Chinoike-Jigoku hot spring, and a ride on the Yufuin sightseeing train. 


There is so much more, a sake brewery visit, Saiki Fish Market, teamLab Forest, a digital art collective, and Fukuoka Tower. Enjoy Kurisumasu shopping by the Hakata JR station and Tenjin Area, Kyushu’s number one shopping area. More yet, as we visit Mameda Machi, and LaLaport Fukuoka, a new shopping mall. In the evening, stroll over to the front side of the Hakata JR station for holiday illuminations!
