TOP5 Rankings in Kyushu
Kyushu has so many amazing natural wonders, onsens, and tourist attractions that we are impressed each time we visit. If you have a week to spend in Kyushu, rent a car and drive around. If you can only stay for a few days, then relaxing in a onsen resort is the way to go. There are many attractive onsen resorts in Kyushu, but Beppu Onsen, Yufuin Onsen, Kurokawa Onsen, and Kirishima Onsen, in particular, have wonderful ryokans and hotels where you will want to stay again and again.
Then an important factor to consider when visiting Kyushu is the season. The recommended seasons are spring and the fresh green season, autumn when the leaves change color, and around early December when it is not too cold in winter. In midwinter, depending on the location, many days feel slightly warmer than in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, etc. This is the best season for visitors to enjoy onsens. It hardly snows at all. On the other hand, summer in Kyushu is very hot and humid, and probably not the best season for sightseeing and hot springs. August and September also bring many typhoons and changeable weather. Whenever possible, plan your trip in spring, fall, or winter.
