Kyushu info

The island is mountainous, and Japan's most active volcano, Mt Aso at 1,591 m, is on Kyushu. There are many other signs of tectonic activity, including numerous areas of hot springs. The most famous of these are in Beppu, on the east shore, and around Mt. Aso, in central Kyushu.

The name Kyushu comes from the nine ancient provinces of Saikaido situated on the island: Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, Buzen, Bungo, Hyuga, Osumi, and Satsuma.

Today's Kyushu Region is a politically defined region that consists of the seven prefectures on the island of Kyushu and also Okinawa Prefecture to the south
