Kagoshima Prefecture

Kirishima’s beautiful scenery and natural environment make it one of Kagoshima Prefecture’s leading tourist destinations, along with Ibusuki and Kagoshima City. Many visitors come to the area for its hot springs. The mountain scenery of Kirishima changes with the seasons: pink Kyushu azalea in spring, the vibrant green of summer, the red and yellow foliage of autumn, and the white hoarfrost of winter. Kirishima Jingu Shrine was designated a National Treasure in 2022. Be sure to visit and experience the beauty of Kirishima for yourself!

Miyazaki Prefecture

The fishing ban on Japanese spiny lobster is lifted every year on September 1st! To celebrate, restaurants and hotels in Nichinan City hold the “Nichinan Coast Spiny Lobster Festival,” where visitors can enjoy spiny lobster at special prices. Japanese spiny lobster is a luxury ingredient that cannot be farmed. Simple dishes such as sashimi, salt-grilled lobster, or lobster miso soup are recommended to savor the lobster’s natural flavor.

Oita Prefecture

Oita, the “Onsen Prefecture”, is full of attractions in autumn as well! Futago-ji Temple, located halfway up Mt. Futago, which towers over the center of the Kunisaki Peninsula, is surrounded by lush nature and has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best forests for “forest bathing.” It becomes especially popular with visitors during the autumn foliage season.
In addition, “Seki mackerel,” one of Oita Prefecture’s signature ingredients, comes into season in December, allowing visitors to enjoy its plump texture and melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
