Kyushu Travel

Hi Vanessa,

Kyushu is great! It's also secretly my favorite part of Japan. The weather is nice, there are beautiful beaches and shorelines, there's a lot of untouched nature, active volcano's, history (Nagasaki) and it has a great capital (Fukuoka). The JR Pass will also cover all train travel you will do, including the Aso boy and Ibusuki trains.

Where did you read that you can't reserve those trains? I last traveled one year ago on them in the summer. Maybe the Ibusuki train is a local train and may not have seat reservations, however I am sure that you can reserve the Aso boy.

As for ordering the JR Pass. Please place an order online, we will then send you a voucher by FedEx Express, which you can then exchange at Hakata (Fukuoka) station.

Hope this helps!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I will get the passes when it's finalized.

Will touch base with you again.

Cheers,
Vanessa

Have you heard about the recent floods in Hiroshima and Kyushu? I understand that many people had to be evacuated. Do you think that everything will be ok by the time you travel and do you think that presently, the sightseeing areas are affected?

Hi Ehon, Thanks for the update. I know there's flooding in Hiroshima and will check for an update in Kyushu. Much appreciated.
