What is MICHIKUSA English Travel WEB Journal

Michikusa Travel WEB Journal is a free English-language paper and website for international travelers, who wish to explore Kyushu deeply and experience the region like a local.

Since its founding in 2000, Michikusa Journal has introduced active, in-depth tourism information originating locally in Japanese. Editor-in-Chief Eiko Fukunaga grew up in Italy and relocated to Southern Kyushu in 2000. From the start, she felt the southern Kyushu resembles Italy and possesses remarkable potential as a tourist destination. Warm climate, rich food culture, beautiful coastlines, and captivating mountains―both regions share compelling tourist appeal. Fukunaga has organized numerous remarkable experiences exploring the Kyushu islands and founded a travel company enabling immersive journeys like a local resident. She is convinced now is the perfect time to launch the English-Japanese travel WEB journal MICHIKUSA for those who cherish deeply rooted, immersive travel in Kyushu’s Regions.

We invite you all to read our journal and make Kyushu your travel destination May you have the most memorable journey of your life.
