TOP5 Best Gourmet Hotels and Ryokans in Kyushu
There are many delicious foods in Japan, especially in Kyushu, that even the locals rave about. The following ryokans offered meals to our great satisfaction. In particular, Iki beef from Iki Island, Saga beef from Saga Prefecture and Miyazaki beef from Miyazaki Prefecture are characterized by their smooth mouthfeel and rich aroma. In addition, black pork raised in the magnificent nature of Kagoshima Prefecture is a popular ingredient, also known as a black diamond, and its tenderness, melt-in-your-mouth texture and flavor were exceptional. Then if you stay at Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami by Onko Chishin on Iki Island, you can enjoy hard-to-find seafood such as chewy squid, abalone, yellowtail and other kinds of sashimi, and sweet, melting sea urchin.
