Instead of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, try this in Japan 🇯🇵

Instead of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, try this in Japan 🇯🇵

Don’t be one of them, we’ve got another option for you 👇🏼

Day 42/90
We’re Sagar and Ami, on a 90-day challenge to see if we can actually monetise our Instagram and not go back to the 9–5 life.

Japan is so much more than Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Don’t get me wrong, those cities are amazing (we loved them on our first trip!)

But this time, we wanted to go offbeat, and that’s how we ended up exploring Kyushu island for 7 days.
With only one goal: to find Japan’s hidden gems.
Okay, two goals: explore and eat all the ramen we could 🍜

📍Kagoshima
This city by the bay stole our hearts. Surrounded by mountains and just a short ferry ride from Sakurajima, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, it’s an underrated beauty.

📍Nagasaki
Probably one of the most emotional stops. We all read about the atomic bombing in school, but visiting in person hit different. The city itself is peaceful, resilient, and full of stories.

📍Fukuoka
This place might just have better ramen than Tokyo (don’t come at us). Neon lights, buzzing nightlife, food stalls, it felt like Tokyo’s chill cousin. Easily deserves a 5-day trip on its own.

📍Oita
Our base for the week. Calm, clean, and cute. Not many tourists but a lot of Japanese businessmen travel here, so you get a peek into real daily life. We loved it.
Would you ever do a trip like this around a random Japanese island?
