Additionally, each prefecture is close to a port town, where you can enjoy fresh seafood such as sushi, sashimi, and local cuisine at a more affordable price than in the city, making it an attractive destination for gourmet travelers.
Furthermore, Kyushu has strong ties to world-famous anime, with the locations of series such as "One Piece," "Attack on Titan," and "Natsume's Book of Friends" scattered throughout the region, making it a popular destination for travelers who are interested in anime culture.
