Travel to Kyūshū

I was wondering if i should go to Kyūshū in early November for a week, as i've never been on that Island so far.

I can't seem to wrap my head around which place to stay at, i have been thinking about Kumamoto or Kagoshima, but i'm not sure about either of those places.

Then there is the question about immigration, if i transfer to "Airport XYZ" will immigration be done in Haneda/Narita or will it be in the final Airport.

Chūbu or Kyūshū?

My wife and I will be spending 2 weeks in Japan this spring, and Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima are already on our list of places to visit. But we can't decide between going further west into Kyūshū to see Nagasaki and Mt. Aso, or to Chūbu to see Kanazawa, Matsumoto and Takayama. Unfortunately, we don't have time for both.

For those of you have spent time in both areas, which did you find more rewarding, and why?

Help identifying this town in Kyūshū?

Can anyone help me identify this town in Kyūshū? I'm completely stumped, and have lost the itinerary for this particular trip. Helpfully I can tell you there is a ryokan. Unhelpfully, I can't remember the name of said ryokan, and didn't take a photo of it.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Where do you think will Generation 9 take place?

We all know Pokémon games take place in "regions" that are based on real-life locations. For example, Kanto (obviously) was based on the Kantō region in Japan, Johto based on Kansai, Hoenn based on Kyūshū, and Sinnoh based on Hokkaido.

But now in Generation 9, obviously the game will no longer take place in Japan. There is some evidence of these, although I doubt that the games would take place in Italy, Switzerland, or France. (At least that's what my gut feels.)

And here comes the possibility that the new region will be entirely fictitious—it's not based on any real-life places.

Based on my guts >!(yeah I know guts aren't reliable)!<, this will take place in either Asia (SEA or Pacific to be precise).

How about you? Where do you think will Generation 9 take place?
