Located on the northern shore of Japan’s Kyushu Island, Fukuoka boasts a robust history spanning over 1,000 years. Yet, the capital city is surprisingly modern, her streets lined with open-air restaurants, entertainment venues and quaint shops. Local culinary favorites commonly associated with Fukuoka include Hakata-style ramen, mentaiko and motsunabe. Popular activities include art galleries, nighttime beach parties, live music and street-food stalls.

Beppu is a notable vacation destination for hot-spring enthusiasts, thanks to more than 2,500 onsen, or Japanese baths, in the area. These sought-after geothermal waters range from traditional, hot-spring baths to sand- and mud-baths. Besides being a place to socialize, hot-spring baths claim to offer various health benefits, including improved circulation, pain relief and mental relaxation.
