Osaka - Kumamoto, Fukuoka - Osaka

Hi there,

Yes, all these routes are covered by the JR Pass :)

Great thank you. Is there a regional pass that would cover those journeys?

You can have a look at this pass:

Though the JR Pass is a better fit in terms of flexibility

That’s so helpful thank you.
1 last question, I will be travelling with a Japanese resident who won’t have JR pass, how can we book seats together?

Kind regards
Lou

Hi Lou,

Yes, that's no problem :)

Just go to a ticket window (Midori no Madoguchi in Japanese) and explain to the staff that you want to sit together. The JR Staff will reserve your seats together :)
