13-Nights Castle Towns and Seasides of Kyushu

The island of Kyushu is home to legends, gods, and the beginning of Western influence. We invite you to explore this great island, traveling the winding roads by car, and visiting the cities and villages that feel both very Japanese, and yet wholly separate. We will gladly tailor the length and content of the trip to fit you best.

Highlights:

• Self-drives through beautiful countrysides and less-traveled cities
• Viewing the dance of the gods known as the kagura
• Visiting the ports that acted as the first gateways to Western influence
• Relaxing in the hot springs of Beppu and Kurokawa
• A homestay experience in the Kyushu countryside
• Adventure through an island of pure forests
