We recently returned from a vacation in Kyushu - the southern island of Japan. It was Golden Week in Japan, a big national holiday, and we managed to have about 8 days off work. We first flew into Fukuoka, the 6th biggest city in Japan. It was a great place! Everybody was friendly and I'd love to go back. We spent our first full day visiting a tiny island just off the coast of the city (and as we just missed the hourly ferry we arrived by speed boat ;)).
