Japan's southernmost major island — where 13 million people live across seven prefectures,
yet 70% of international visitors never discover it.
日本最南端の主要な島——1300万人が7つの県に住んでいるが、
国際観光客の70%はまだ訪れていない、未発見の宝庫。

Living Geology & Natural Power
5 active volcanoes including Mount Aso (one of the world's largest calderas with a 25km crater) and Sakurajima (erupts almost daily).
Over 2,800 hot springs — the highest concentration in all of Japan, producing 2.8 million liters of mineral water daily.
The earth here still breathes, moves, and creates. Witness geology in real-time.
世界最大級のカルデラを持つ阿蘇山、ほぼ毎日噴火する桜島など5つの活火山。日本一の2,800以上の温泉。生きた地球の息吹を体感できる場所。

Living Craft Heritage
Arita porcelain — the first porcelain made in Japan (1616), still crafted using 400-year-old techniques.
Imari & Karatsu kilns where masters train for decades. 84 sake breweries in Saga alone
preserve Edo-period methods. Kurume kasuri indigo textiles woven entirely by hand.
These aren't museums — they're living, breathing workshops where tradition meets tomorrow.
日本初の磁器・有田焼（1616年〜）、佐賀県だけで84の酒蔵、手織りの久留米絣。博物館ではなく、今も息づく職人の現場。

Strategic Gateway Position
Closest point to mainland Asia — historically the gateway between Japan, Korea, and China for 2,000+ years.
Nagasaki's hidden Christian history (UNESCO World Heritage Sites). Fukuoka — Japan's 6th largest city (1.6M)
with world-class infrastructure and international airport. Kumamoto — one of Japan's three great castles.
Where ancient trade routes meet modern connectivity.
アジア大陸に最も近い日本、2000年の交流の歴史。長崎の隠れキリシタン遺産、福岡160万人都市、熊本城。古代と現代が交差する戦略的要所。
This is Japan beyond the golden route.
This is where stories still wait to be told.
ゴールデンルートを超えた日本。ここには、まだ語られていない物語がある。
