Showcasing Kyushu Island in Australia

Posted on by admin

On 5 Dec, a representative from the Kyushu Tourism Promotion Organisation arrived in Australia to promote the many fascinating destinations on Kyushu Island, Japan. He visited the CLAIR Sydney office on 5 Dec to meet with staff members of CLAIR Sydney to discuss topics such as tourism trends in Australia.

Kyushu Island has many unique and spectacular attractions for tourists to enjoy, such as Mount Aso, Japan’s largest active volcano; Yakushima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site where tourists can trek amongst ancient trees; Nichinan Coast, one of the popular scenic surf spots in Japan; and Yufuin, an artistic rural hot spring town. You also can’t miss the amazing local Kyushu dishes such as the famous Hakata ramen (pork bone broth noodles) from Fukuoka, Champon noodles from Nagasaki, the famous Saga beef, and much more!

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
