7D KYUSHU - A Journey Through the Spring of Japan Tour

Assemble at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Fukuoka, — the largest city in Kyushu.

Upon arrival, paint your first day in Kyushu in one smooth, unhurried sweep—starting at Yufuin Floral Village, where flowers spill from every window box and cottage garden, wandering past flower-framed cottages and quirky shops, maybe with a creamy local gelato in hand. Next, make your way to Beppu’s Umi Jigoku, where cobalt-blue water boils like a dream, followed by Kamado Jigoku for steamed eggs and sweet potatoes cooked by volcanic steam, because why just look when you can taste? But the real magic? Sinking into warm volcanic black sand with a legendary hot sand-bath experience, feeling every knot of travel fatigue melt away until you rise utterly renewed—a wild blend of Japanese tradition and earth’s raw power. Then comes a Kaiseki dinner so beautiful you’ll almost hate to eat it, followed by slipping into a comfy yukata and easing into an onsen soak under the stars, steam curling up as your day winds down—honestly, could there be a more perfect first day in Kyushu?

After breakfast, step right into the elegance of old Japan at Kitsuki Castle Town. Slip into a beautiful spring kimono yukata, wander down stone-paved lanes lined with historic samurai homes, and honestly, don't you already feel your best Edo-era pose coming on? Next, blossom into life at Kuju Flower Park, tucked in Oita's scenic highlands, where waves of colourful seasonal blooms stretch out beneath the majestic Kuju Mountains. Yes, this is absolutely where your first holiday photos are going to steal the show. Then comes the moment of truth: are you brave enough to step onto the spectacular Kokonoe "Yume" Grand Suspension Bridge? Because once you do, you'll be rewarded with sweeping, jaw-dropping views of the valley, rugged mountains, and waterfalls tumbling down like silver threads, all from a thrilling height that'll make your heart race and your camera work overtime. Settle into your onsen resort this evening as you don your very own yukata, relieving your body of its travel weariness with a rejuvenating soak in the onsen with views of Mount Aso.

This morning, set off for the dramatic Takachiho Gorge, where towering basalt cliffs frame the graceful Manai Falls, surrounded by lush greenery that feels like nature's own secret garden. It is easily one of Kyushu's most photogenic natural wonders, so keep your camera ready. After lunch, enjoy a scenic journey across the Amakusa Five Bridges, a stunning route that links beautiful islands, charming fishing villages, and sparkling blue waters at every turn. As evening arrives, settle into your seaside onsen resort and let the soothing hot spring waters wash away the day's adventures, with nothing but the sound of gentle waves to accompany your relaxation.

Start today’s adventure as you set sail on an exciting wild dolphin watching cruise. Keep your camera ready, because playful dolphins will swim and leap through the waters around Amakusa, putting on a show you won't forget. Continue to Shimabara Castle, an elegant white fortress surrounded by peaceful gardens where seasonal flowers bloom at every turn, filled with fascinating stories and artefacts from Japan's feudal past. Then head towards Nagasaki and take a ride up the Mount Inasa ropeway, where the real showstopper awaits. Get ready for a dazzling 10 million dollar night view, with thousands of glittering lights spreading across the harbour below you. It is the kind of view that stays with you long after you leave

Ready for some retail therapy? Hunt for bargains from popular international and Japanese brands at Tosu Premium Outlets. Then, slow things down at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, where graceful bridges, ancient camphor trees, and seasonal flowers like plum blossoms and irises paint the grounds in soft hues throughout the year, creating a distinctly Japanese atmosphere, and enjoy Umegae Mochi tasting here. End the day at Canal City Hakata, Fukuoka’s lively shopping and entertainment landmark. Browse, dine or simply enjoy the colourful fountain displays before returning to your hotel.

Transfer to the airport for your flight back to Kuala Lumpur, bringing home wonderful memories of Kyushu’s beautiful landscapes, relaxing onsens, delicious flavours and unforgettable experiences.
