North Kyushu region
Kyushu is Japan's third-largest island, located south-west off the main island. The region offers modern cities, natural beauty and historical sights.
Kyushu is home to Mount Aso, which, with an altitude of 1,591 metres, is one of the largest active volcanoes in the World! The tectonic activity in the region makes it the ideal place to visit a hot spring; Beppu and Yufuin are famous areas for onsen.
