Tokyo and Osaka are popular destinations in Japan, but Kyushu is fast gaining popularity. See what’s amazing about this lesser known place
Tourists in Japan usually go to pulsing Tokyo to experience most of the aspects of Japanese life, or to Osaka, for its hearty cuisine and cultural attractions, one of which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE
Compared to the congested roads in Tokyo or Osaka, Kyushu is considered among Singaporeans an ideal countryside destination for self-drive holidays as it is an easy place to drive around, and the Japanese drive on the same side of the road.
Nonetheless, nothing beats being driven around or being taken on a guided tour. SingExpress Travel has a 7D6N Wondrous Kyushu tour, which brings you to scenic sights in Miyazaki, Kagoshima, Ibusuki, Kumamoto, Yanagawa, Nagasaki and more.
NATURAL WONDERS
Be swept away by the spectacular, panoramic view atop one of the most famous active volcanoes in Japan when you take the Mount Aso Ropeways.
Kusasenri is a great location with a view of Mt. Nakadake. It’s a shallow, square prairie over the northern base of Mt. Eboshidake. There’s a large pond in the centre and horses graze on the pasture.
Another gorgeous site you’ll be visiting is the Takachiho Gorge, which was created by the Gokase River eroding Aso lava. This natural wonder is where many waterfalls cascade from precipitous cliffs into a ravine.
REST AND RELAX
You will be taking the Yanagawa River Boat Cruise down Yanagawa’s main attraction, on a poled gondola-like boat with willow trees swaying in the wind.
Unwind with a hot sand bath at Ibusuki, where baths are heated by natural subterranean geysers.
LUXURIOUS STAYS AND SHOPPING
Comfortable lodging is key in a holiday. There is a three-night stay at onsen (hot spring) hotels and a one-night stay at the elegant Huis Ten Bosch Hotel.
You’ll also be brought to Tosu Premium Outlets and Tenjin Underground Shopping Arcade – the largest of its kind in Kyushu – for a spot of shopping, before flying back to Singapore the next day.
