Spring in Kyushu is about more than just cherry blossoms. It is also the perfect season to experience fresh greenery in dramatic gorges, volcanic grasslands, hot springs, and beautiful coastal scenery. This six-day spring tour of Kyushu starts in Fukuoka and connects Yanagawa, Kumamoto, Takachiho, Aso, Yufuin, Beppu, and Itoshima, taking you from cherry blossom viewing at Maizuru Park to the natural landscapes of Takachiho Gorge and Aso. Covering multiple prefectures, the itinerary uses private car transportation in Kyushu to reduce long-distance transfers, making it especially suitable for families with children, travelers with elderly companions, or anyone looking to explore Northern and Central Kyushu in depth on a single trip.
