I'm planning for a week stay in Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Miyajima, is the JR Hiroshima Yamaguchi Area Pass sufficient? Can I use it for all those 3 places?

In reply to MImi. Yes, but I'd rather get a JR North Kyushu Pass for Fukuoka & Nagasaki, then overnight bus from Fukuoka to Osaka. Much more budget-friendly. :)

Hello! Is it worth doing the guided tour or would rather not do it (I am a Pinoy expat in Japan so traveling would be easy)? If so, what guided tour is worth trying? Thankie

In reply to Willow. How long is your trip? How many days?

Hello. Do you think I need to avail a JR pass for this route: Fukuoka-Hiroshima-Osaka-Kyoto-Nara? My entry point (from PH) is Fukuoka, and exit is Osaka. Thanks. :)

In reply to Alyssa Rodriguez. Yep, naabutan ko naman but hindi delayed yung flight ko. But if you're concerned na di maabutan, you can have it delivered to your hotel na lang. I tried that too. :)

Hello!! Just wanted to ask if you personally tried the sample itinerary you posted? Our flight to Fukuoka is the same, CebPac arriving at 7:20pm. Im just concerned that if it gets delayed, I might not be able to pick up the pocket wifi I rented since the stall closes at 9pm. Do you think it’s better/safer for me to deliver it to our hotel? Thank you!

In reply to Eynaa.

Hi Eynaa,

1. No, you don’t a JR Pass.

2. We enumerated the passes in the post above. Read the HOW TO GET AROUND section.

3. For me, it’s too long for Fukuoka. Consider going to other destinations in Kyushu or Hiroshima. If you choose to also visit Hiroshima, get a JR Hiroshima Yamaguchi Area Pass. If visiting other Kyushu cities, consider JR Northern Kyushu Rail Pass or All Kyushu Rail Pass.

Hi. I will be in Fukuoka Feb 13 to 18 2020. Roughly 7 days. Should i get the JR pass? we are just planning on sightseeing in Fukuoka what pass can you suggest we should purchase for transportation like buses and subways? and it is too long to spend 7 days only in Fukuoka? Any idea? TIA
