Kyushu, a southern island of Japan, boasts unique food, culture & history as it was culturally separate from mainland Honshu for centuries.
There is much to be said in literature about hanami or ‘flower viewing’ in traditional Japanese culture. Particularly around cherry blossom time, when locals and tourists alike gather around friends to have a picnic under a sky of budding pink flowers.
Sake may be famous worldwide, but there is another Japanese alcohol just as prevalent, particularly in Kyushu: shochu.
Kyushu, Japan, is more often than not overlooked by many tourists in favor of more popular spots like Tokyo and Osaka. But Kyushu is a hidden gem, being home to one of the friendliest populations and most breathtaking scenery in Japan.
When Portuguese missionaries first arrived on Tanegashima island in 1543, it wasn’t long before a national fascination with sugar was born.
There is always a cultural event to look forward to in Japan, and Kyushu is no exception. Read about our top 5 festival picks.
