Should include Yufuin, Oita. Then Oita to Mount Aso. Ride Aso Boy from Aso to Kumamoto. Stay over in Kagoshima. Spend less time in Hakata & Nagasaki.

Hi there,

I agree, Yufuin and Aso are great visits, with great trains. Personally I did not find Kokura very interesting, you could use that time better somewhere else. For instance making a visit to Sasebo instead, or go up to Hiroshima.

Rest looks really nice!

Thanks to all for your feedback and comments. Appreciate it. :)

Yes, my itinerary already included Yufuin and oita and mount Aso. (Will visit during those 3 nights when I base in Beppu)
As for Kokura, I put in Kokura for half a day on my way back to Hakata from Beppu as I do not know where else to visit for that short afternoon with my luggages. I also want to make use of my 5 day Kyushu pass.
Will review the last few days at Hakata to see if I can fit other places as suggested. :)
