[Program Catalog] The great heritages of Kyusyu and Okinawa 新九州遺産 新九州遺產|RKB MAINICHI BROADCASTING CORP.

The landscapes and traditions to be handed down to future generations. Since ancient times, Kyushu and Okinawa have been blessed with the “winds of civilization”, creating the unique cultures by the influences of people, items and notions from foreign lands. The numerous archeological ruins tell stories of the area’s history while the traditions and the way of life are deeply rooted in its history and the social climates. Still today, the area boasts many cultural heritages passed down through history.
At the same time, Kyushu and Okinawa offer majestic nature that are sure to liberate the heart of anyone visiting; the rich sea teeming with diverse life, the different expressions of Kyushu mountains in respect to the four seasons, deep green wild forests and pure streams. These awesome works of nature nurtured over years soothe the souls of people living there.
Nature, history, traditions and cultures – all these aspects of Kyushu and Okinawa are to be passed down to generations to come. Seven broadcasters in Kyushu and Okinawa have come together to present this documentary, highlighting the heritage sites of the area. The beauty and wonders of Kyushu and Okinawa are amplified through stunning high-definition images.
