Travel to Kyushu
The
Kyushu region is the third largest island in Japan and literally translates to
“Nine Provinces”. Located in the
southwest of the main island Honshu, it is an early centre of Japanese
civilisation and is filled to the brim with historic treasures, modern cities
and natural beauty. Blessed with a tropical climate, the islands are covered
with tall palm trees and is filled with hibiscuses. Best time to visit the
island would be in spring and autumn. Travel to Kyushu by booking your tickets
with XcelTrip and save on your adventures.
Home
to the prefectures of Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kuma Mato, Oita, Miyazaki and
Kagoshima, it offers a diverse range of areas to visit. There’s something for
everyone in the region, it satisfies all your food, nature, art, historical and
cultural fantasies.
For
all those history enthusiasts, don’t miss the chance to take a tour of the
abandoned city of Gunkanjima. Located a few kilometres off the Nagasaki coast,
the island was the accommodation site for the coal mine workers.
The
sand bath in Beppu City is the definition of relaxation. The naturally heated
sand holds many health benefits owing to the large geothermal energy of the
area. This geothermal haven is also blessed with several hot springs and bath
houses. Oh, and while you’re there, stay clear of the Jigoku or the hell pools.
These hot springs have water at 100˚C and are forbidden to bathe in.
The
city of Nagasaki’s Glover garden is a must visit. The atomic bomb museum
remembers the terrible and devastating fate of the city. The city may have been
one of the first to open to foreigners and may have moved past its dark days,
but forgetting it isn’t a choice.
If
you get a chance, spend a night on the island of Yakushima, the natural beauty
of the island will blow you away. It’s the perfect camping spot and staying in
a tent will give you the best experience of the island.
Not
only is the Kyushu region great for tourism, it is also home to the Kyushu
university. The university is one of the
most prestigious research-oriented universities in japan, drawing several
aspiring students.
Japan
is a diverse country, with even more diverse regions, cultures and histories. Travel to Kyushu to make memories that
last a lifetime. Book your tickets now
