Join us as we explore the many sights and sounds of Japan’s third largest island, Kyushu! During the mid-16th century “Age of Discovery,” Kyushu served as a gateway for cultural and culinary exchange between Japan, Europe, and mainland Asia. In addition to its historical roots as an international trading hub, today’s Kyushu has garnered international fame for its hot springs, active volcanoes, breathtaking scenery, and delectable cuisine. We’re excited for you to get to know its unique personality!
