2025 Kyushu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#Self-driving Self-driving is really a very convenient way to travel~~ Even if there are elders with you, it won’t be too hard! This time I mainly traveled in Kitakyushu, and planned to visit Aso and Kurokawa Onsen, which I had always wanted to visit (especially Kurokawa Onsen, which really requires a car to be convenient) D1 After getting off the plane, I rented a car and went directly to Yufuin Simply strolled around Yunotsubo Street and Kinrin Lake At night, I stayed in a hot spring hotel, ate well, slept well, and recharged my energy~ D2 After watching Kinrin Lake in the early morning, I set off for Kurokawa Onsen You can buy a hot spring at Kurokawa Onsen, and you can choose 3 of the 27 hotels to take a bath! Remember to bring your own towel. In addition, Kurokawa Onsen has a beautiful bamboo lantern festival every winter. If you happen to drive to Kyushu in winter, you can arrange to stay here for a night~~ Depart for Aso Volcano in the afternoon! The scenery on Mt. Aso is really beautiful~ But the weather here is very changeable The sun is out one second and it rains the next second Kusa Senri plus Aso crater is about 3 hours just right Check in at a hotel in Aso at night D3 Dream Forest Shrine-Kamiishiki Kumanoza Shrine It is recommended to come early in the morning to get the misty dream feeling~ After visiting the shrine, go to Fukuoka Itoshima, and arrive at Itoshima around noon Have a bowl of ramen and take a half-day tour of Itoshima And drive to the other side for salt pudding😂 D4 For lunch, I had a very unique Tofu Restaurant in Fukuoka, which is a century-old tofu specialty store! I felt refreshed after eating~ Walked to Miyajidake Shrine in the afternoon Before returning to Taiwan, I must go to Ichiran to pay homage~~ Although it was only four days, I felt it was worth it to see my parents having fun It’s super convenient to drive and not have to carry luggage around #九州旅游 #九州自驾 #100旅行方式 #dopamine旅行 #Aso #Itoshima #Kurokawa Onsen #Mameto #Ichiran Ramen Main Store

#热热#100 Ways to Travel Kyushu cherry blossom viewing and hot spring bath trip, this family trip stayed at three hot spring hotels with their own characteristics, namely: #YufuinKayu, Kurokawa Hot Spring #Senomoto Plateau Hotel, Takeo #Mifuneyama Paradise Hotel. ✓ #YufuinKayu is a high-end Japanese-style hot spring hotel. You can stay in a Japanese and Western-style suite with a private hot spring bath. Not only the indoor space is extremely spacious, it also has a private courtyard. You can enjoy the view of Mount Yufu while taking a bath in the courtyard. It is really enjoyable! The hot spring pool in the jacuzzi is a smooth beauty bath, and you can watch the stars while soaking in the bath at night.

Aso Volcano is very enjoyable; the indoor hot spring has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can see the outdoor wilderness plateau. It is also very healing, and it is less cold when you soak indoors in winter. Accommodation type: The most basic twin room with attached bathroom, 24 square meters of space, one bed, two meals for two people, about NT$6,000. ✓#Mifuneyama Paradise Hotel Stay directly at the hotel in Mifuneyama Paradise, which is quite unique in combination with teamLab.

You can enjoy the flowers while soaking in the hot spring. It is quite luxurious! But the public hot springs are also super cool, with a Western-style hot spring pool design and a resting space for cooling off and roasting marshmallows, which is very fashionable! Check-in type: The largest room in the hotel, the VIP room Laosong Room, is over 100 square meters in size and has a private open-air bath.

I didn’t do any planning before setting off for this 8-day, 7-night trip to Kyushu, but I am very satisfied with the itinerary! So I want to share it with you too🥰 🌟【8 days and 7 nights in Kyushu】🌟: 1: Arrive in Fukuoka - Ohori Park - Fukuoka Museum of Art 2: Yufuin (Same-day trip) 3. Fukuoka - Kagoshima - Senganen 4. Sakurajima - Shiroyama Observatory 5: Kagoshima - Fukuoka - Shiga Island 6: Mojiko Port (Same-day trip) 7: Kamishiki Kumanoza Shrine - Aso Volcano - Kusasenri - Kurokawa Onsen (I researched the transportation and found it a bit troublesome so I signed up for a one-day tour) 8: Return 💰【Overall cost reference】💰: ✈️Hong Kong to Fukuoka round-trip air ticket: 1278 (transit in Shanghai) 🏠Accommodation: Average price: 296 per night (can be cheaper, I booked too late and there were few options) 🍱Three meals: around 1400 (including daily coffee) 🚆JR Kyushu 5-day PASS: 1125 (If you plan to go to Kagoko, just buy the Kyushu Pass) 🚌Other transportation: 330 (subway, bus, bicycle rental, ferry) 💳Tickets: 135 🌋Aso one-day tour: 490 The cost of the whole trip is about 7,000. If you have more time, I recommend going there. Nagasaki, Saga, Beppu, Miyazaki, Ibusuki, Kagoshima... 🌟【Attractions Recommendation】🌟: 📍Yufuin: In addition to the Yunotsubo Street, Fairy Tale Village and Kinlin Lake that everyone will definitely check in, I highly recommend that you experience this idyllic town under the volcano by cycling🚲🚲 Bicycles can be rented from the visitor center on the right turn of the JR station for 300 yen per hour. The COMICO ART MUSEUM with its beautiful architectural design is also worth a visit👍🏻 📍Shiga Island: I decided to go there because I saw that I could cycle around the island. There was a bicycle rental shop at the pier, and then I rode along the road along the sea. The cycling route is about 12 kilometers and the road is flat, so it is suitable even for beginners👍🏻 📍Moji Port: A port city full of retro European style. Take a stroll through it to feel the glorious days of the old days. You must also go to Shimonoseki, which is separated by a strait, to buy sushi and eat it by the sea before 3 o'clock (only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays)🍣🍣 📍Sakurajima: Watch the active volcano up close🌋🌋You can also soak in the outdoor foot bath for free and walk along the seaside trail. If you are going to Sakurajima, it is recommended to buy the 🌟CUTE transportation ticket🌟, which allows unlimited rides on city buses, trams, Sakurajima ferries and sightseeing buses 📍Kamiishiki Kumanoza Shrine: I have always wanted to visit Kamishiki Kumanoza Shrine because of the movie "Firefly Forest". The shrine hidden in the green shade seems to have a mysterious and deep charm. It's like walking into the mountain god forest where monsters live. #GlobalTravel #JapanTravel #JapanAttractions #KyushuTravel #FukuokaAttractions

Driving from Fukuoka to Kurokawa Onsen, passing through Oguni Town, I accidentally found a popular soba noodle restaurant #手打そば優心. Although it is a rural area, it has good business. If you don't make an appointment, you have to wait for half an hour. I wandered around nearby. While visiting, I unexpectedly visited the #Oguni Shrine with its towering ancient trees, and the #Keyaki Water Source along the Sakura River. The shop of Shouda Soba Youxin is very Zen-like, decorated with a row of wooden fences. Inside is an L-shaped workbench. Sitting in the tatami seating area, you can watch the noodle cooking process up close, from rolling the noodles, putting them in the pot, chilling them, adding ingredients, The chef's skillful plating is really brilliant and interesting. We ordered a tempura set and a beef rice bowl. The cold buckwheat noodles were served in a bamboo sieve and dipped in the sauce. They were smooth and slurpy. The tempura was fried crispy and delicious, and the beef was roasted tender and juicy. The soba cold noodles were a real treat. Another bowl was duck soba noodles in soup, which was lush and green, with a sweet soup and tender duck meat; I also ordered a portion of tamagoyaki in soup, which was a warm egg roll with rich soup, very delicious. Finally, the chef will scoop a spoonful of noodle cooking water and add it to the remaining dipping sauce container, which transforms it into a fragrant and rich soup stock. It tastes so delicious! Quite a delicious and fun experience. #Hand-typed そば优心 Opening hours: 1100-1600 Address: 1635-5 Miyahara, Oguni, Aso District, Kumamoto 869-2501 Japan Average consumption per person: 1,000-2,000 yen #Japan Cherry Blossom Viewing #Kyushu Food #Soba Noodles #Oguni Town

Stepping into Huis Ten Bosch at the northern end of Omura Bay, the scenery is magnificent and slightly exotic. Huis Ten Bosch is named after one of the three official residences of the Dutch royal family and is a replica of a Dutch town. Huis Ten Bosch Resort and Theme Park is a place worth visiting. Arriving at the shore of Huis Ten Bosch, it feels like being in a foreign country, with windmills, tulips, Dutch-style buildings and amazing lights everywhere. There are playgrounds, shops, cinemas and restaurants on both sides of the street, waiting for your exploration. If you want a special experience, you can take a boat tour along the park's river and feel like you are in Amsterdam. In addition to the observation tower, there are other novel ways to overlook the entire resort. You can experience a 20-meter-high bungee jump above the Art Garden and get a whole new perspective on the park from an upside-down perspective. The resort is divided into two areas: the theme park area and the harbor area. Both areas have free attractions and paid attractions, with most of the attractions located in the theme park area. Regular tickets give you access to both areas, but you can also buy a separate ticket for cheaper entry to the harbour area only. (Because my teammate was having his birthday on that day, I bought two tickets online during the train trip as a gift for my friend.) Tips: If a passenger enters the venue on his/her birthday, he/she will receive a birthday sticker and a free drink. Huis Ten Bosch has multiple JR train services between Hakata (Fukuoka) and Nagasaki. Most trains are limited express and most trains from Hakata require a transfer at nearby Hayaki Station, so expect the journey to take up to 110 minutes. You can also take a flight to Nagasaki Airport; alternatively, you can take a speedboat from Omura Bay directly to Huis Ten Bosch, the journey is expected to take about 50 minutes. #Overseas Travel

## Non-amusement parks are none We all know that Disney knows Universal Studios, but these famous parks of the Goose have been crowded up to an average of one hour per project. Its not a surprise... Sana thinks its not easy to take a child out for a trip. You shouldnt waste time queuing for 2 hours to play for 2 minutes, so try to find some unpopular and fun places to enjoy your parent-child time as much as possible / Hh/ It seems that Europe is actually in Kyushu, Japan, not far from us. Last Christmas, our family went to this park to have fun! The key is that there are fewer people in the festival! The night scene is so beautiful! Sana will find out that I will go to play, its because the hot spots have been there, and there are too many people, so Im exploring some places where only local people know, see photos of Sana. Do you think we are in Europe? In fact, this is a Dutch-style paradise in the Kyushu, Nagasaki, Japan, which is not known to many people in the world - Howdensburg, people really do not have much, the place is really big! The environment is beautiful! There are many people in the holidays, and it is super suitable for parents who bring children and don't want to be too noisy and too tired! When we arrived on Christmas Day, it was already a multi-person, and it still felt that there were not many people and it was comfortable. Like most paradise, there are many facilities for kids to play, and they are very innovative! Performances, parades, and the most attractive night scenes~

#cherryblossom25 Passed by the cherry garden and the fragrance of its pollens blooming in Tokyo. The cool temperature makes it a relaxing stroll here and there. We took a hop on & hop off bus from Kagoshima and with the limited time, we walked to a nearby temple where we spotted some pure white prune flowering. Up coming trips we are clocking from Aomori to Sendai in this April. More Cherry Blossom.

My two-week self-drive trip through Kyushu was an unforgettable experience, showcasing a different side of Japan beyond the usual Tokyo and Osaka itineraries. Starting in Fukuoka, I indulged in the city’s famous Hakata ramen, with Hakata Issou serving up one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. From there, I drove to Nagasaki, a city rich in history and culture, before heading to Kumamoto, home to the impressive Kumamoto Castle. One of the highlights was visiting Mount Aso, where breathtaking volcanic landscapes stretched as far as the eye could see. The journey continued to the charming onsen towns of Kurokawa, Yufuin, and Beppu, each offering a unique hot spring experience that made for the perfect way to unwind. These towns had a distinct charm, with traditional ryokan stays, open-air baths, and serene nature all around. Along the way, I was constantly in awe of Kyushu’s stunning scenery, from rolling hills and lush forests to coastal views and steaming onsens. Unlike the bustling cities of Tokyo and Osaka, Kyushu offered a more relaxed and immersive travel experience, filled with natural beauty, rich history, and incredible food. Whether it was savoring fresh local cuisine, soaking in a secluded onsen, or taking in the picturesque landscapes, Kyushu proved to be a hidden gem with so much to offer. This trip was an eye-opening journey into a lesser-explored part of Japan, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure. #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #thingstodo #myitinerary #localfood #kyushu #japan

If it weren’t for the recommendation of my friend 🇯🇵, I might not have thought that life could be so leisurely~🧖‍♀️The overall pace of life in Fukuoka is slow, and it has a sense of life~ The local residents are also relatively relaxed. It is a great place to experience a slow life❗️The experience of its natural scenery and cultural customs🎏 is much better than that of Internet celebrity tourist destinations! It is perfect for sisters who seek tranquility and love nature👩🏼‍🌾Come and breathe in oxygen~-Fukuoka-Mt.

Stretching for thousands of miles, there is a lake in the center of the grassland🪸, and you may occasionally encounter grazing herds of cattle🐮 and horses🐴.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 1. Kujukushima (Figure 1-2) The "Kyujuku Islands" located outside the Sasebo Port in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, have more than 200 small islands. This time we took a sightseeing boat cruise and took a bus to the Zhankai Peak where you can overlook the Kujuku Islands. 2. Jiuchongmeng Suspension Bridge (Figure 3-4) The Kokonoe Yume Suspension Bridge is one of the famous attractions in Oita Prefecture. It is the highest pedestrian suspension bridge in Japan and spans the Kokonoe Gorge. 3. Tianlai Hot Spring (Figure 5-9) From Hakata, go to Hita, then take a local train from Hita to Teina Station. When you exit Teina Station, there are hand and foot baths at the exit. There are also open-air hot springs, so you need to bring your own swimsuit. 4. Hita (Figure 10-13) Located in the north of the Aso Kuju Mountains, water from the mountains flows into Hita. The abundant water resources have earned Hita the name "Water Town." What impressed me most were the boat-shaped houses by the water, the beautiful sunset, and the delicious Chinese ramen.

This is my first time celebrating Christmas and New Year alone, but in my favourite country, Japan, which is special and joyful. #travel #japan

⌚️ We arrived at the helicopter 🚁 helipad at 9:40 in the morning. There was only one group of passengers waiting in front of us. We successfully bought two tickets for a 7-minute flight at 10 o'clock (cash! 💰 12,000 Yen each), and took off beautifully at 11 o'clock 🛫! 🌋 After that, we went up to the crater. It is highly recommended to come here to experience the natural landscape of gas gushing up close. It is too exaggerated (exciting) #AsoMountAso🌋 #Aso #Kyushu #Kumamoto

🚁At Kyushu's famous active volcano, Mount Aso, you can take a helicopter to enjoy the vast grasslands, blue skies and majestic mountains from high altitudes and experience the magnificent scenery of nature. You can also experience the unique charm of Aso Active Volcano up close. You can choose a 4-minute, 7-minute, 10-minute or 15-minute trip depending on your time. 📍Location: Kurokawa, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Opening hours are from 10:00 to 16:00. The cost varies from 6,000 yen to 14,000 yen, depending on the time and route. 🚗Due to inconvenient transportation, it is recommended to drive or charter a car. ⚠️Helicopter service may be suspended in special circumstances such as heavy rain, typhoon or aircraft inspection. #JapanTravel #JapanTravelFoodGuide #FukuokaTravel #KumamotoTravel #AsoMountAso

It was my first time riding in a helicopter 🚁, and my first time seeing a volcano up close 🌋. Every line seemed within reach. The driver would turn around and dive, then head straight into the crater, through the thick smoke. The moment you enter the white volcanic ash, the pungent smell of sulfur hits you in the face, and it’s a unique experience in your life. #Aso Volcano #Kyushu #Kumamoto Aso

Speaking of delicacies that can be enjoyed at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, it has to be Umegae Mochi. If you eat freshly baked Umegae Mochi in the shop, tea will also be served with it. When you put a hot small mochi in your mouth, a fragrant flavor spreads, followed by a sip of hot tea to refresh your mouth. It is a very interesting experience to enjoy a traditional Japanese snack. #Fukuoka #KyushuTrip #TraditionalJapaneseSnacks

On the way to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka, there are many Umeeda Mochi shops lined up. Among them, I chose "Kasa no Ie" which had the longest line. Umeeda Mochi is a Japanese sweet made of sweet red bean paste wrapped in a chewy outer shell made from glutinous rice flour. It is perfect to enjoy in the afternoon with a cup of tea. Although the name has "plum" in it, it actually does not contain any plum ingredients. I was a little surprised that I could not taste the plum even after I finished eating it. #Fukuoka #Dazaifu #Umeeda Mochi

Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka is a wonderful place to enjoy in half a day. The refreshing plum flavored ice cream is delicious, and it is known for attracting many students. This is the perfect place to visit the "God of Learning". Don't miss the Kyushu National Museum, which has many precious collections from China. There are many shops selling plum branch mochi on the street, and when I tried one, it was filled with delicious red bean paste. For transportation, it is convenient to take the Nishitetsu Line from Tenjin to Futsukaichi and then change to Dazaifu. #Fukuoka #DazaifuTenmangu Shrine #KyushuTrip

When you visit Dazaifu, you will find a row of shops selling umeeda mochi on the streets. If you are going to eat them on the same day, be sure to buy freshly baked umeeda mochi. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and are best eaten while they are still hot. They are also recommended to be enjoyed with tea or coffee. If you want to take them home as a souvenir or give them to someone, a good place to stop by is Umezono confectionery shop. Look for the large Umezono sign. Inside the shop, you will find many gift boxes containing umemori and various Japanese sweets, which will be carefully wrapped on the spot. The packaging is also very beautiful, making them perfect for both yourself and as a gift. However, they only have a short shelf life of 7 days, so be sure to eat them as soon as possible. 📮Baien Kashidokoro Umezono Kashidokoro Dazaifu Main Store 📍2-6-16 Saifu, Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 818-0117 🕙10:00AM-5:00PM #Fukuoka #Dazaifu #Umeedamochi
