Back in 2007, I took a trip down to Kyushu, Japan and wandered around Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Mount Aso, Nagasaki and Sasebo. This trip was before the Hakata and Kagoshima Shinkansen was built.
Now, with that Shinkansen and other commuter trains available, the JR Kyushu Discover Rail Pass will make exploring Kyushu a lot easier.
According to GaijinPot:
Whether you’re traveling in Kyushu to enjoy the lush countryside home to natural hot springs, active volcanoes and waterfalls, or heading into the bustling cities to shop your heart’s content, getting around Japan’s underrated third-largest island has never been more affordable or convenient, thanks to the new JR Kyushu Discover Rail Pass.
Although Japan’s borders are still closed to tourists from abroad due to the coronavirus, the JR Kyushu Discover Rail Pass is designed for the country’s foreign residents who want to discover Kyushu’s hottest tourist attractions in a fast and efficient manner.
The pass offers users unlimited travel on JR Kyushu shinkansen and limited express trains for three consecutive days. If you’re planning to visit more than one city on your trip, it makes sense to take advantage of this limited-time discount—as you’ll likely be using the train to move around the island.
