Welcome to Japan!
Discover the Energetic Heart of Kyushu with Keri & Nicola
Join Keri and Nicola on an unforgettable journey through Kyushu, Japan’s southern treasure, where nature’s raw power meets deep-rooted traditions. Home to 17 active volcanoes, Kyushu is Japan’s most volcanically dynamic region, offering dramatic landscapes, rich history, and unique cultural experiences. Hike through breathtaking eruption sites, soak in mineral-rich hot springs known for their healing properties, and taste delicious local cuisine—including food steamed using the region’s natural geothermal heat. From the rolling grasslands of Aso, where people, cattle, and horses live in harmony, to the awe-inspiring Mount Aso, one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas, every stop on this adventure will leave you in awe.
This tour is not just about landscapes—it’s about history, culture, and people. Step back in time at the magnificent 400-year-old Kumamoto Castle, a symbol of resilience and samurai heritage. Stroll through the nostalgic hot spring town of Kurokawa Onsen, where traditional ryokans offer serene open-air baths. Learn the art of ramen-making from skilled artisans, and experience the warmth of Kyushu’s people at lively yatai (food stalls), where locals gather to eat, drink, and share stories. Throughout the journey, you’ll discover the many forms of “energy” that make Japan so special—from the earth’s geothermal power to the spirit of its people who preserve and celebrate their traditions. Get ready for an adventure that will ignite your senses and deepen your appreciation for this remarkable region!
We'd love you to join us on this adventure to celebrate 10 years of the "Worldy Girlies".
