Okinoerabu Island offers a unique slice of Japanese culture away from the mainland bustle. This small island between Okinawa and Kyushu captivates visitors with its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and impressive limestone caves. The Shoryudo Cave, one of Japan's largest limestone caverns, features stunning stalactites and underground rivers that attract nature enthusiasts year-round. Visitors can explore traditional Ryukyu villages that showcase the island's distinct cultural heritage, different from mainland Japan. The island hosts the vibrant Hachigatsu Odori dance festival each August, where locals perform traditional dances in colourful costumes. Marine activities like snorkelling and diving reveal spectacular coral reefs and diverse marine life. From Okinoerabu, travellers can catch ferries to nearby Yoron Island, Okinawa, or Kagoshima on Kyushu, making it an excellent starting point for island-hopping adventures in southern Japan.
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.
