About Kyushu Island
Kyushu is Japan’s third-largest and southernmost main island — a place where the climate is warmer, the people are famously friendly, and the food is bold and delicious. Often called the birthplace of Japanese civilisation, it’s home to ancient myths, active volcanoes, legendary hot springs, and a laid-back lifestyle that feels a world away from Tokyo or Osaka.
From the neon energy of Fukuoka (Japan’s most liveable big city) to the tragic yet hopeful history of Nagasaki, from the dramatic caldera of Mount Aso to the subtropical beaches of Miyazaki, Kyushu offers incredible variety. It’s famous for tonkotsu ramen, mentaiko, shochu, wagyu beef, fresh sashimi, and some of the best onsen culture in the world. Locals speak with a warm southern accent and love to welcome visitors — Kyushu is where Japan feels most relaxed and open-hearted.
