Kyūshū (九州, Nine Provinces) or Kyushu is the 3rd-largest island of Japan and most southwesterly of its four main islands. Today's Kyūshū Region (九州地方 kyūshū-chihō) is a politically defined region that consists of the seven prefectures on the island of Kyūshū and also Okinawa Prefecture to the south: Fukuoka Prefecture, Saga Prefecture, Kumamoto Prefecture, Nagasaki Prefecture, Ōita Prefecture, Kagoshima Prefecture, Miyazaki Prefecture and Okinawa Prefecture.

By population, the largest city on the island is Fukuoka with its 1.4 million inhabitants; Fukuoka is a major business center with a large international airport as well as one of the five stock exchanges in Japan. Kitakyūshū is a designated city and major center for heavy industries, populated by slightly less than a million. Kumamoto and Kagoshima are the island's third and fourth largest cities with over half a million people each. Nagasaki has one of Japan's oldest international ports, which was the only gateway to the outside world during the Edo period, from the mid 16th to the mid 18th centuries. Nagasaki is also famous for being hit by one of the atomic bombs at the end of WWII.
