Located on the west coast and near the center of Kyushu Island, the Kumamoto Prefecture is located in south western Japan and blessed with awesome natural Beauty.
Well over half of the total 7,402 km of the land (about 4,600 miles) is still untouched natural forests, rolling grasslands, high snow- capped mountains, deep valleys, and framed on the west by the Ariake and Yatsushiro Seas and bordered by more than 120 islands of the Amakusa Sea.
The Prefecture thrives on rich agricultural and marine resources, and is historically significant as a bastion of Christianity during the 1500’s. Its thriving capital, Kumamoto City, is known throughout the country for its youthful exuberance - some of which is due to its two important universities. The Prefecture is home to two great national parks - the Aso-Kuju National Park and the Unzen-Amakusa National Park, and is the heart of the true soul of Japan.
Kumamoto is the perfect sightseeing base for exploring Japan’s southernmost island of Kyushu.
