Kyushu, Japan, is a subtropical island known for active volcanoes, including Sakurajima, one of the most popular sightseeing destinations in the area. The island is also home to the world’s largest active caldera, Aso Caldera, as well as lush flora and plentiful hot springs.

The island offers something for every taste. Its most populous city, Fukuoka, highlights historic sites and modern attractions, with many museums and art galleries that tell the robust story of Kyushu. The seaside city of Kagoshima, meanwhile, is renowned for pottery, Satsuma Kiriko cut glass and delicate Oshima Tsumugi fabric. Miyazaki is Kyushu’s primary shopping destination and a substantial contributor to the island’s travel industry — attractions include the SeaGaia event center and the Miyazaki-city Phoenix Zoo. Visitors can also get their adrenaline pumping while surfing some of Japan’s best waves or stretching their legs on a scenic hike.
