We've heard wonderful things about Kyushu, Japan and would love to spend a week exploring the area. However, our only option for traveling there would be in late June. Will the heat and humidity be significantly hotter there than other parts of Japan? We've been told that Fukuoka, Beppu, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima are fun to visit.
Thanks for your input.
I was on Kyushu last June (in Nagasaki the last week of the month) and the rain was more an issue that the heat. However, it was a particularly rainy June. If that’s the only time you have to go, then go. It will only get hotter later in the summer.
June is the beginning of the rainy season in Japan, and Kyushu is a more rainy part of the country. I suggest you go to Hokkaido for better weather.
