Travel Kyushu | Attractions by Theme and Prefecture

Japan's summers grow hotter every year. Although Kyushu lies in the warm south, it actually has many places where visitors can stay cool. We have gathered refreshing summer attractions across Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Oita, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima.

Subtropical Kyushu is packed with activities and photogenic scenery best enjoyed in summer. From sea to mountains, we have brought together a compact selection of recommended summer destinations.

We have collected information on fireworks festivals held across Kyushu. Some take place during the Obon holiday, while in recent years an increasing number appear to be scheduled for September and October (9-10).
