Order fresh oysters and seafood, and let them season and cook to their liking.Shiraito Falls are on the Itoshima Peninsula, near the source of the Kawatsuki River. The falls are visited all year, but they are particularly popular in the hot summer months when they turn their surroundings into a cool escape.Standing above the Momochi district is 234m-tall Fukuoka Tower, Japan's tallest seaside spire, a symbol of the city and mostly hollow (its main purpose is as a broadcast tower).  There's an observation deck at 123m and a cafe for soaking up the views, especially at dusk and nighttime.

Yunotsubo Kaido Street runs through the center of the popular hot spring town of Yufuin, leading from Yufuin Station to Lake Kinrinko.  It takes about 20 minutes to cover the distance without lingering, but there are enough interesting shops, cafes and galleries to merit an hour or two of strolling.  The buildings lining the street are low-rise, and mostly traditional in appearance.  Mt. Yufu rises above the street, adding to the picturesque setting.  It is a nice place to wander and sample some local delicacies, coupled with a walk around the lake.Lake Kinrin Fresh water and hot springs flow into the lake, and the water temperature is high throughout the year, creating a beautiful phenomenum of steam rising from the surface, early on winter mornings.The name Kinrin means" "Golden Fish Scale" "The source of this name is the fish swimming in the lake, the scales of which appear like a golden glitter at sunset.Located in Beppu's Kannawa and Kamegawa regions, Beppu's Jigoku—also known as the Seven Hells of Beppu—got the name from the mysterious and temperamental springs here. Boiling water and gas bubbled up from the land so violently that people in ancient times loathed its presence. You can witness the same expulsions of gas, iron oxide-rich steam and bubbling hot mud that have continued to spook guests and locals since the beginning of time.
