Kyushu, Japan's third-largest island, offers visitors a perfect blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage. Known for its active volcanoes, the island features Mount Aso with one of the world's largest calderas, where visitors can witness the raw power of nature. The historic city of Nagasaki provides a poignant glimpse into Japan's past, while Fukuoka attracts food enthusiasts with its famous tonkotsu ramen and vibrant yatai (food stalls). Each spring, Kyushu comes alive with cherry blossom festivals, particularly in Kumamoto where Suizenji Garden transforms into a pink paradise. In autumn, the Karatsu Kunchi Festival in Saga Prefecture showcases enormous decorative floats paraded through the streets. The island serves as an excellent starting point for exploring other parts of Japan, with ferry connections to Honshu, Shikoku, and even international routes to South Korea and Taiwan. Kyushu's hot springs in areas like Beppu and Kurokawa offer the perfect relaxation after days of exploration.
Amami Island, part of Japan's Satsunan Islands, offers a unique blend of tropical beauty and traditional Japanese culture. With crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and lush forests, this island paradise is perfect for nature lovers seeking an authentic experience away from mainstream tourism. Visitors can explore the island's rich biodiversity, including the Amami rabbit, a rare species found nowhere else in the world. The island boasts spectacular diving spots with vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life. Cultural attractions include traditional Oshima Tsumugi silk weaving workshops, where you can witness this UNESCO-recognised craft firsthand. Throughout the year, Amami celebrates various traditional festivals, including the lively Honen Matsuri (harvest festival) with traditional dance and music. While Amami doesn't have international ferry connections, regular domestic ferries connect the island to mainland Japan, particularly from Kagoshima, making it an excellent addition to your Japanese travel itinerary.
