Hello,
Sorry I forgot to mention that I am flying into Okinawa. After Okinawa I will be flying to Fukuoka. I want to visit a few cities like Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Beppu. I don't wanna spend 1 whole day in a city. That's the reason I wanna see as much as possible.
I want to spend 3 days in total in Kyushu after that I am going to Sapporo by train.
So this will be my second trip to Japan, I have already seen places like Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Nikko, Nara, Mt. Fuji, Yokohama , Kobe, Miyajima and Tokyo. That's the reason I don't want to visit these parts of Japan.
After that I want to go Sapporo by Shinkansen, leaving from Fukuoka.
I will spend 2-3 days in Hokkaido and after that I will take the train back to Tokyo to fly back home
I just wanted to know, if I can take local or express trains and if they are included in the Japan Rail Pass or do I have to buy the JR Kyushu or JR Hokkaido Pass?
After reading the terms and condition of the Japan Rail Pass, I couldn't find the informations which I needed. To be honest I don't wanna buy two different kind of Rail Passes like the JR local pass and the Japan Rail Pass.

27th June - 30th June Okinawa
1st July Okinawa to Fukuoka by plane

I do really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much in advance.
