Japan's third largest island, Kyushu, is rich in culture and history.

日本第三大島九州擁有豐富的文化和歷史。

Home to spectacular volcanic landscapes, distinctive local food, and lively cities, each with their own story to tell.

這裡有壯觀的火山景觀、獨特的當地美食和充滿活力的城市，每座城市都有自己的故事。

情態副詞

Yet currently only a fraction of international visitors to Japan make it here.

然而，目前只有一小部分國際遊客來到日本。

In this video, I'll introduce Kyushu's four largest cities.

在這段視頻中，我將介紹九州的四大城市。

Kagoshima, a city in the shadow of an active volcano, Kumamoto with its impressive castle, Fukuoka, ranked among Japan's most liveable cities, and Kito-Kyushu, the main gateway into Kyushu, known for its nostalgic port area.

鹿兒島是一座位於活火山陰影下的城市，熊本擁有令人印象深刻的城堡，福岡被評為日本最適宜居住的城市之一，而北九州則是進入九州的主要門戶，以其懷舊的港口區而聞名。

My name is Matt Evans, staff writer for japan-guide.com.

我叫馬特-埃文斯（Matt Evans），是 japan-guide.com 的撰稿人。

Join me on a four-day trip exploring Kyushu's four largest cities.

和我一起踏上為期四天的九州四大城市之旅。

I begin close to the southern tip of Kyushu in Kagoshima.

Looming over the city from across the bay is Sakurajima, a beautiful and very active volcano that regularly sends plumes of smoke and ash into the air.

櫻島是一座美麗的活火山，經常向空中噴發煙霧和火山灰。

A historic city in spectacular subtropical setting, Kagoshima is often compared to its sister city of Naples, Italy, due to its climate, laid-back atmosphere, and its volcano-dominated landscape.

鹿兒島是一座坐落在壯觀的亞熱帶環境中的歷史名城，由於其氣候、悠閒的氛圍以及以火山為主的地貌，鹿兒島經常被拿來與其姐妹城市意大利那不勒斯相提並論。

Today, I'll take a tourist loop bus to visit the landscape garden of Senganen.

今天，我將乘坐旅遊環線巴士去參觀森加寧景觀園。

Next, I'll hop back onto the loop bus and take a ferry across the bay to participate in a guided sea kayaking tour for some beautiful views of Mt.

接下來，我將跳上環線巴士，乘坐渡輪橫跨海灣，參加有導遊帶領的海上皮划艇之旅，觀賞富士山的美景。

Senganen is a traditional landscape garden located on the coast just slightly north of the city center.

森加寧（Senganen）是一個傳統的景觀花園，位於市中心稍北的海岸邊。

It was built almost 400 years ago as a retreat for the ruling Shimazu clan, one of the most successful and longest-running samurai families who ruled over southern Kyushu.

島津家族是統治九州南部最成功、歷史最悠久的武士家族之一。

Inside, visitors can explore a series of beautiful interconnected spaces with giant stone lanterns, bamboo groves, flowing streams, and small shrines.

遊客可以在內部探索一系列相互連接的美麗空間，包括巨型石燈籠、竹林、流水和小型神龕。

Japanese gardens are well-known for the technique of borrowed scenery, in which the garden seems to expand to include features from the surrounding landscape.

日本庭院以借景手法而聞名，在這種手法中，庭院似乎擴大到包括周圍景觀的特徵。

But not many have such a perfect backdrop to work with as this one.

但是，像這樣擁有完美背景的人並不多。

At its heart is a stately form of residence with beautifully preserved rooms and furnishings.

其核心是一座莊嚴的住宅，房間和傢俱都保存完好。

In and around the garden are the remains of an early industrial complex, marking one of the earliest attempts in Japan to produce iron through newly adopted western technology, destined for use in ship and cannon building.

花園內和花園周圍是早期工業綜合體的遺蹟，標誌著日本最早嘗試通過新採用的西方技術生產鐵器，用於造船和造炮。

Kagoshima, ruled by the Shimazu clan since the 12th century, enjoyed a rare degree of independence as it was one of the furthest provinces from the shogun's own power base in what is today Tokyo.

鹿兒島自 12 世紀以來一直由島津氏統治，享有罕見的獨立性，因為它是距離幕府將軍的權力基地（即今天的東京）最遠的省份之一。

As a result, it produced some powerful leaders and innovative sites such as this industrial complex.

是以，這裡產生了一些強有力的領導人和創新場所，比如這座工業綜合體。

Just next to the garden entrance and covered by the same admission ticket, this old stone factory building has been renovated into a museum dedicated to the story of the Shimazu clan.

就在花園入口旁邊，同樣的門票也能買到，這座古老的石制工廠建築已被改建成一座博物館，專門介紹島津家族的故事。

In Japanese history, noble or warrior families could be identified by a unique crest called a mon.

在日本歷史上，貴族或武士家族可以通過一種叫做 "門 "的獨特徽章來識別。

The Shimazu's was this one, in the shape of a cross.

島津家的是這個十字架形狀的。

Today, many can still be found around the garden and in the residence.

如今，在花園周圍和住宅中仍能找到許多這樣的建築。

Rounding off my time in Kagoshima, I make my way across the bay by ferry for a closer look at the spectacular Mount Sakurajima.

結束在鹿兒島的逗留後，我乘渡輪橫渡海灣，近距離觀賞壯觀的櫻島山。

The Sakurajima ferry takes just 15 minutes and runs 24 hours a day.

櫻島渡輪只需 15 分鐘，每天 24 小時運行。

While it might look intimidating, in fact several thousand people live on Mount Sakurajima.

櫻島山看起來很嚇人，但實際上山上生活著數千人。

Several observation points, a footbath and some other attractions can be found around the base of the mountain, but I'll be viewing it from a different perspective, from out on the bay by sea kayak.

山腳下有幾個觀景點、一個足浴池和一些其他景點，但我將從另一個角度，即乘坐海上皮划艇在海灣上觀賞它。

Taking in the mountain from the shore reveals fascinating geological details, from curious rock formations to black beaches and bubbling underwater springs.

從海邊眺望這座山，從奇特的岩層到黑色的海灘和汩汩流淌的水下泉水，都能看到迷人的地質細節。

Sea kayaking might seem a bit intimidating for beginners, but here in the Kagoshima Bay, the waters are warm, sheltered and calm, and really, just look at that view.

對於初學者來說，海上皮划艇可能有點嚇人，但在鹿兒島灣，這裡的海水溫暖、避風、平靜，而且，看看這裡的景色就知道了。

Day 2, Kumamoto For the second day of my trip, I'm in Kumamoto.

第二天，熊本 旅行的第二天，我來到熊本。

Following two strong earthquakes in 2016, the city has bounced back and has a huge amount to offer visitors, from its spectacular castle to its laid-back atmosphere and delicious local foods.

在 2016 年的兩次強烈地震之後，這座城市已經反彈回來，從壯觀的城堡到悠閒的氛圍和美味的當地食物，都為遊客提供了大量的選擇。

Today, I'll set off by tram to visit the castle, where I'll first stop by the tourist market area of Sakuronobaba Jozaen before visiting the castle keep.

今天，我將乘坐有軌電車前往城堡參觀，在參觀城堡之前，我將首先在櫻之場城前的旅遊市場區域停留。

Then I'll take another tram to Suizenji Jojoen Garden.

然後，我再乘坐電車前往水前寺上淨園。

Finally, I'll return by tram to the city centre for some local delicacies at Yatai-mura.

最後，我將乘坐有軌電車返回市中心，在亞泰村品嚐當地美食。

Day 3, Kumamoto Located on the doorstep of Kumamoto Castle, this fun area recreates the bustling feel of a feudal-era castle town, with 23 restaurants, shops and food stands offering their own take on classic local dishes.

第 3 天，熊本 位於熊本城的門前，這個有趣的區域再現了封建時代城下町的繁華景象，有 23 家餐廳、商店和小吃攤提供各自的經典當地美食。

Two dishes you'll find a lot here, a deep-fried lotus root called karashi renkon and raw horse meat called bazashi.

有兩道菜在這裡很常見，一道是名為 "Karashi renkon "的油炸蓮藕，另一道是名為 "Bazashi "的生馬肉。

Next, it's time to visit the castle itself, one of the most impressive castles in Japan and an icon of Kumamoto City.

接下來，我們將參觀城堡本身，它是日本最令人印象深刻的城堡之一，也是熊本市的標誌性建築。

Built in the early 17th century, it was considered impregnable due to its size and strategic design.

它建於 17 世紀初，因其規模和戰略設計而被認為是堅不可摧的。

Sadly, the castle was severely damaged by two earthquakes in 2016 and although the main tower reopened in 2021, many buildings, including the reconstructed Honmaru Palace, remain closed and we have many more years to wait until the entire castle has been fully reconstructed.

遺憾的是，城堡在 2016 年的兩次地震中遭到嚴重破壞，雖然主塔已於 2021 年重新開放，但包括重建的本丸宮在內的許多建築仍處於關閉狀態，我們還需要等待許多年才能完全重建整個城堡。

This winding elevated walkway allows visitors to reach some of the inner areas without disturbing the ongoing reconstruction effort and is probably going to be a feature of the castle for a while to come, but ultimately will be removed.

這條蜿蜒曲折的高架人行道可以讓遊客在不影響正在進行的重建工作的情況下到達一些內部區域。

For now though, the ability to look at the main tower and other buildings from multiple views is worth a visit.

不過現在，從多個角度觀察主塔和其他建築的能力還是值得一看的。

Located 15 minutes south-east of the castle by tram, our next stop is Suizenji Jojuen Garden, a beautiful landscape garden arranged around a large pond.

我們的下一站是水前寺定園，它位於城堡東南方，乘坐有軌電車 15 分鐘即可到達。

Built in the 17th century, the site first belonged to a temple before being taken over by the local ruling family as a retreat.

該遺址建於 17 世紀，最初是一座寺廟，後來被當地統治家族接管，成為一處度假勝地。

Taking a stroll through it is a bit like stepping into an imaginary landscape, complete with miniature forests and rolling hills, one shaped just like Japan's most famous mountain.

漫步其中，就像走進了一幅想象中的風景畫，這裡有微型森林和連綿起伏的山丘，其中一座山的形狀就像日本最著名的山峰。

For my last stop in Kumamoto, I'm at the Kumamoto Yatai Mura.

在熊本的最後一站，我來到了熊本屋臺村。

Located in the city centre, it brings together 18 food stalls or yatai into one narrow street with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere, the perfect place to take a break from a busy day of sightseeing while sampling some of the city's favourite dishes.

它位於市中心，在一條狹窄的街道上彙集了 18 家小吃攤或屋臺店，氛圍舒適而輕鬆，是您在一天繁忙的觀光中小憩並品嚐一些城市最受歡迎美食的絕佳去處。

This is Kagoshima-style stir-fried pork temple meat called agoniku-yaki.

這是鹿兒島風味的炒豬肉廟肉，名為 Agoniku-yaki。

Okay, next I'm going to try some yakitori.

好吧，接下來我要嚐嚐烤雞肉串。

This is tsukune, a kind of Japanese meatball served with raw egg and taro sauce.

這是一種日本肉丸，配以生雞蛋和芋頭醬。

Next, I'm going to try some classic Japanese comfort food, okonomiyaki.

接下來，我將品嚐經典的日本舒適美食--大阪燒。

Today I explore Fukuoka, a lively, laid-back city and the largest in Kyushu.

福岡是九州最大的城市，也是一座生機勃勃、悠閒自在的城市。

Fukuoka is a city with two faces, the old castle town from where it gets its name and the port area of Hakata, once a separate settlement.

福岡是一座擁有兩張面孔的城市，一張是古老的城下町，它的名字就來源於此；另一張是博多港，它曾是一個獨立的居住區。

While Hakata itself has long since been absorbed into the city, it lives on as the name of a central district and the main railway station.

雖然博多本身早已併入這座城市，但它作為一箇中心區和主要火車站的名稱卻一直保留了下來。

With its fortunes and population steadily on the rise, Fukuoka overtook Kobe as the fifth largest city in Japan a while ago and routinely places close to the top of global quality of life rankings, drawing praise for its amenities, low cost of living and pleasant environment.

福岡的財富和人口穩步上升，不久前已取代神戶成為日本第五大城市，在全球生活品質排名中也經常接近前列，其便利的設施、低廉的生活成本和宜人的環境備受讚譽。

Starting from my hotel on the Itoshima Peninsula just outside the city centre, I'll explore the area of the Kitazaki Coast on a rented e-bike, then take a bus and train into the city centre.

從位於市中心外的糸島半島上的酒店出發，我將騎著租來的電動自行車遊覽北崎海岸地區，然後乘坐公共汽車和火車前往市中心。

Here, I'll take in a performance of two traditional arts before setting out to explore the historic Hakata Old Town District and end the day with some local cuisine.

在這裡，我將欣賞兩場傳統藝術表演，然後前往歷史悠久的博多老城區遊覽，最後品嚐當地美食，結束一天的行程。

The Kitazaki Coast is an oasis of tranquil nature located just outside into the west of the city centre and the perfect place to spend a peaceful half day.

北崎海岸（Kitazaki Coast）位於市中心以西，是一片寧靜的自然綠洲，是度過寧靜的半天時光的絕佳去處。

My accommodation here is the 7x7 Itoshima, with an attractive coastal setting and all of its rooms facing towards the ocean.

我在這裡的住宿地是糸島 7x7，這裡有迷人的海濱環境，所有房間都面朝大海。

The hotel also offers e-bikes for rent, so I'm fully kitted out and ready to explore from the moment I set off.

酒店還提供電動自行車租賃服務，是以我從出發的那一刻起就裝備齊全，做好了探索的準備。

From here, I make my way north along the coast enjoying the ocean views, before cutting across to the eastern side of the coast along a pleasant country road, passing rice fields and this lovely little temple.

從這裡開始，我沿著海岸線一路向北欣賞海景，然後沿著一條舒適的鄉間小路穿過稻田和這座可愛的小寺廟，來到海岸線的東側。

After a very pleasant ride along both sides of the coast, I drop in for a coffee and a snack at the Surfside Cafe, a seaside diner with gorgeous ocean views.

沿海岸線兩側騎行了一段非常愜意的路程後，我順便去衝浪咖啡館（Surfside Cafe）喝了杯咖啡，吃了點點心。

In the city centre, I make my way along the busy streets to Hakata Gedokuro Wanoka, a local tea house and art centre run by a former geisha and offering a range of traditional performances.

在市中心，我沿著繁華的街道來到博多 Gedokuro Wanoka，這是一家由前藝妓經營的當地茶館和藝術中心，提供一系列傳統表演。

Although often associated with Kyoto, geisha can be found in several cities across Japan including Fukuoka, where a small but dedicated cadre of performers continues to keep the tradition alive.

雖然藝妓經常與京都聯繫在一起，但在包括福岡在內的日本多個城市都能看到藝妓的身影。

Here, visitors can enjoy a fascinating dance performance set to traditional songs on the shamisen.

在這裡，遊客可以欣賞到以三味線傳統歌曲為背景的精彩舞蹈表演。

Included as part of the experience is the chance to chat with the maiko and even take part in traditional party games.

體驗活動還包括與舞女哈拉，甚至參加傳統的派對遊戲。

In my case, after that wonderful performance, I get to enjoy this lovely traditional Japanese meal served in a cute bento box.

就我而言，在精彩的表演之後，我還能品嚐到用可愛的便當盒裝著的可愛的傳統日餐。

Following on from that beautiful performance and thoroughly enjoyable meal, I set out on foot to explore Hakata Old Town, a historic part of the city with preserved merchant houses, intriguing local craft shops and atmospheric temples and shrines.

在欣賞了美輪美奐的表演和品嚐了美味佳餚之後，我步行前往博多老城區遊覽，這裡是博多歷史悠久的街區，有保存完好的商人住宅、引人入勝的當地手工藝品商店以及氣氛濃郁的寺廟和神社。

As night falls on Fukuoka, the buzzing atmosphere of the city centre gives way to something more laid-back.

夜幕降臨，福岡市中心的熱鬧氣氛也隨之變得悠閒起來。

One reason Fukuoka is such a great destination for food lovers is yatai or food stands like this.

福岡之所以成為美食愛好者的天堂，原因之一就是像這樣的 "屋臺 "或小吃攤。

Found in various places throughout the city centre, they offer food of all kinds and really contribute to the city's friendly atmosphere.

這些小吃店遍佈市中心的各個角落，提供各式各樣的美食，真正營造出了這座城市的友好氛圍。

In fact, yatai were once a common sight throughout Japan but in recent decades have been disappearing, the exception being Fukuoka.

事實上，"屋臺 "曾是日本各地的常見景觀，但近幾十年來已逐漸消失，福岡是個例外。

I'm very excited to be trying two Fukuoka local favourites.

能品嚐到福岡當地的兩道美食，我感到非常興奮。

This is Hakata ramen, which is ramen in a thick creamy tonkotsu broth and mentaiko, which is cured, spiced pollock roe.

這是博多拉麵，是用濃稠的奶油頓口湯和明太子（醃製過的香料鱈魚子）煮成的拉麵。

In this case, the mentaiko is wrapped in a Japanese omelette and flavoured with dashi.

在這種情況下，明太子被包裹在日式煎蛋中，並用魚湯調味。

For the final day of my trip, I'm in Kitakyushu, a city at the very northern tip of Kyushu and the gateway between Japan's first and third largest islands.

旅行的最後一天，我來到了北九州，這座城市位於九州的最北端，是日本第一大島和第三大島之間的門戶。

Although best known as an industrial centre and transport hub, the city also boasts a number of interesting attractions.

雖然這座城市以工業中心和交通樞紐而聞名，但它也擁有許多有趣的景點。

What we now call Kitakyushu was formed by a merging of five smaller cities, the most famous being Kokura, which gave its name to the Shinkansen station.

我們現在所說的北九州是由五個較小的城市合併而成的，其中最著名的是小倉，新幹線車站的名字就來源於小倉。

Another was the major port town of Moji, which I'll be visiting today.

另一個是我今天要去的主要港口城市墨吉。

Arriving at Mojiko station, I'll be checking out some of the old port's historic buildings, stop to enjoy the popular local dish of yakikare or grilled curry, before setting out on a rented e-bike to end my day with the view across the Kanmon Strait from Mekari Shrine.

到達門司湖站後，我將參觀一些老港口的歷史建築，停下來品嚐當地的人氣美食烤咖喱，然後騎上租來的電動自行車，從湄刈神社眺望關門海峽，結束一天的行程。

Facing towards the Kanmon Strait, where at least 500 ships pass through every day, Moji remains a vital shipping hub, but its historic port has been preserved with a nostalgic early 20th century atmosphere celebrating its industrial heritage.

門司面向關門海峽，每天至少有 500 艘船隻通過，它仍然是一個重要的航運樞紐，但其歷史悠久的港口已被保留下來，充滿了 20 世紀初的懷舊氣息，彰顯了其工業遺產。

The current building dates to 1914 and was built in the Neo-Renaissance style.

目前的建築始建於 1914 年，採用新文藝復興風格。

It's one of Japan's oldest and, I think, most atmospheric train stations.

它是日本最古老的火車站之一，我認為也是最有氛圍的火車站。

As one of Japan's most important shipping ports, Moji was a gateway not just for freight, but for ideas, art and design.

作為日本最重要的航運港口之一，門司不僅是貨運的門戶，也是思想、藝術和設計的門戶。

Looking around, we can still see a definite European influence in some of its most striking buildings.

環顧四周，我們仍能在一些最引人注目的建築中看到明顯的歐洲風格。

This eye-catching building is the former Moji Mitsui Club.

這座引人注目的建築就是前門司三井俱樂部。

Featuring this nice timber frame exterior and some lavish Art Nouveau details inside, it's best known for hosting Albert Einstein during his 1922 tour of Japan.

它擁有漂亮的木結構外觀和一些奢華的新藝術風格細節，最著名的是在 1922 年愛因斯坦的日本之行中接待了他。

Just a short walk from the station is one of Moji's most iconic pieces of architecture, the old Mitsui OSK Lines building.

從車站步行不遠，就是門司最具標誌性的建築之一--三井OSK Lines 老建築。

When it was built in 1917, it was the tallest building in Moji and served as an office and passenger lounge for a major shipping company.

1917 年建成時，它是門司最高的建築，是一家大型航運公司的辦公和旅客休息室。

Another interesting building that played a vital role in the local shipping economy was this one, the former Moji Customs building.

在當地航運經濟中發揮過重要作用的另一座有趣的建築就是這座原門司海關大樓。

Just a few steps from the harbour, we make a stop for lunch at Curry Honpo Mojiko Retro to try one of Kitakyushu's best-loved local dishes, yaki curry or baked curry.

距離港口僅幾步之遙，我們在咖喱本鋪魔芋復古餐廳（Curry Honpo Mojiko Retro）用午餐，品嚐北九州最受歡迎的當地美食之一--燒咖喱或烤咖喱。

If you come to Moji, this is one of those dishes that you're definitely going to see and maybe even smell too.

如果您來到墨寺，這道菜一定會讓您眼前一亮，甚至會讓您聞到香味。
