Thought by many to be the birthplace of the Japanese nation, Kyushu is the southernmost of Japan鈥檚 four main islands, with a turbulent history matched by its seething volcanic terrain.
This island was the focal point of foreign interest in Japan, and the only place during Japan鈥檚 long years of self-imposed isolation where contact with the outside world was permitted.
Around Kyushu
A land of cosmopolitan cities and castles, active volcanoes and scenic crater lakes, Kyushu is a prime location to explore Japan鈥檚 history, both ancient and more recent. An ideal location for scenic hikes in an unspoilt landscape and for visiting hot spring resorts well beyond the reach of conventional tourists.
