In the previous edition of The Japan Agenda: The Premium Travel Blueprint, we explored Niigata and the nearby Sado Island. Full of picturesque sights like the Kiyotsu Gorge and Sado Gold Mines, these itineraries are created to highlight Japan’s lesser-known but equally-beautiful areas. On this edition of The Japan Agenda: The Premium Travel Blueprint, continuing with crafting adventures of Japan’s roads less traveled, we are taking you to and around Kyushu, one of Japan’s four main islands.
Every Kyushu prefecture has its own charm and personality, all distinct yet harmonious, creating an adventure not to be missed, and with a short flight to Fukuoka from Manila, the wonders of Kyushu are just a quick trip away.
After Nagasaki and Saga, capture the sunset in Itoshima, a coastal gem nearby Fukuoka. Known for its scenic beaches, rugged cliffs, and sparkling waters, every corner turned is a new sight to see and a new memory to make, so bring a camera and snapshot lifelong keepsakes.
Should your trip land between October 31 st and November 4th , make time for the Saga International Balloon Fiesta to see the colorful and uniquely-designed hot-air balloons paint the sky for a stunning scene.
As we mark the end of this adventure, we hope that the beauty of Kyushu and its prefectures has been revealed to you. Words and photos can only do so much to capture the magic of Japan, so plan your trip to Kyushu soon and see it for yourself.
Stay tuned for next month’s agenda for more extraordinary journeys that make you fall in love with Japan, one trip at a time.
