Thought Izu was stunning enough, but Kyushu is absolutely breathtaking!

Summer in really takes the crown!!
No exaggeration, this is the pinnacle of Japan’s off-the-beaten-path travel!!

✨While Tokyo’s neon lights are still flashing and Kyoto’s ancient streets are crowded with travelers, this land embraced by mountains and sea tells its story in its own unique rhythm: 🗻 The rugged textures formed by volcanic eruptions, the mist rising from thousand-year-old hot springs♨️, moss-covered shrines straight out of anime, and Kumamon suddenly appearing on street corners… 🦋 Here, every step feels like opening a mystery box, full of unexpected surprises.

🍃Come here during summer vacation, avoid the crowds, and soak up the volcano’s passion, the forest’s tranquility, and the sea breeze’s salty freshness—all in one trip. This is definitely a top secret favorite travel destination for insiders!

🧐How to play? Choose Northern Kyushu or Southern Kyushu
✅Northern Kyushu: Rich in elements, more activities, highly recommended for families
✅Southern Kyushu: Focuses on natural coastal scenery, better for repeat visitors to Japan
🌟If you only have about a week, definitely start with Northern Kyushu
