Kyūshū

Kyūshū (九州 Kyūshū: “nine provinces”) is the third-largest island of Japan and most southerly and westerly of its four main islands. Its alternate ancient names include Kyūkoku (九国: “nine states”), Chinzei (鎮西: “west of the pacified area”), and Tsukushi-no-shima (筑紫島: “island of tsukushi”). The historical regional name Saikaidō (西海道: “west sea circuit”) referred to Kyūshū and its surrounding islands.
