Place to see in Japan?

Question:

Hi! I'm going to visit Japan next week for 6 weeks and I will stay in Osaka. It's my second time in Japan... last time I visited Tokyo and northern Japan, this time I wanna see southern/western Japan, so I'm planning to go to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kanazawa, Nagoya, Himeji, Okayama, Kobe, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Fukuoka and Ise. Someone knows other good places to visit? Places not so popular like Tokyo or Kyoto, but very interesting... And some particular things to do/see in Osaka?

Answer:

There are many - go to see Sakurajima in Kagoshima - few people have walked near a live volcano, and it is like being on the moon. Or go to Aso in Kumamoto and look into a live volcano. Try a good onsen in Beppu or Yufuin. Or if you can, visit Okinawa.
