I found the cherry blossoms in the Aso-region to be very beautiful |

Beppu is well known because of its numerous hot springs and spas - and
also because of Mt. Tsurumidake
where the 3rd world hang gliding championships was held in 1981 |

many hotels and ryokans offers their guests use of the spa and hot spring-facilities
built in their houses |

the lake Chinoike (blood-lake) - Hematite in the hot water causes the red
colouring
The water is said to help patients with skin-diseases |

further to the south of Kyushu near Miyazaki you can find Aoshima -
a "wash-board-island" which you can cycle around in less than 20 minutes
