Compare two days of local JR journeys
For two consecutive days around Fukuoka on covered local, rapid or limited express non-reserved seats, compare your separate fares with Fukuoka Wide. If your trip needs reserved seats or a wider Kyushu area, compare the Northern Kyushu Rail Pass instead.

This ticket stays on your smartphone: it is not exchanged for a paper pass at a station. The convenience depends on being able to open and show the active ticket when required, including while travelling.

Fare, child age and consecutive dates
The official two-day fare is JPY 3,500 for adults aged 12 or over and JPY 1,750 for children aged 6–11. JR Kyushu uses age on the first effective date. Check any seller-specific age condition as well; do not convert the operator fare into AUD.

The two days must be consecutive. Activate the ticket when beginning use, not simply to inspect it in advance: activation changes its cancellation status.

Covered sections and excluded trains
Use the official English map for the Fukuoka Wide boundary, including Mojiko. The listed Sonic section is Hakata–Kokura–Yukuhashi and the listed Yufu section is Hakata–Kurume. Those service names do not establish coverage all the way to Yufuin or Huis Ten Bosch.

For an Ordinary Car reserved seat, the official English FAQ requires a separate base-fare ticket and reserved-seat limited express ticket before boarding. Ask the counter for the applicable tickets and charges rather than assuming you only pay the seat difference.

Open the ticket for the channel you bought from
For a LINKTIVITY-channel purchase, open the dedicated ticket URL sent by email. For a my route purchase, select the ticket under my ticket → Purchased Tickets & Reservations in the app. These are different ticket-access procedures; do not try to register one channel’s ticket using the other channel’s steps.

Check the dates and travellers, then select Activate when ready to begin. Keep the smartphone charged and connected to the internet so the live validity timer is visible. A screenshot cannot be used for boarding.

Show the active screen at a staffed gate
Use the staffed passage and show the live browser or app ticket screen and passport. This is not a ticket for automatic gates. Onboard, show the ticket when asked and tell staff where you intend to get off.

If a problem on your side prevents you from showing the ticket, the operator requires the separate fare for the section travelled. Check connectivity before use rather than relying on a saved image.

Refunds before activation and smartphone problems
The official refund condition is a JPY 440 fee per ticket before activation, the same for adults and children. After activation, refunds are not accepted. For a travel-agency purchase, also check that seller’s package cancellation conditions.

A broken or lost smartphone is not a refund reason. Changes after purchase are not offered in the official FAQ; it directs customers to refund and buy again under the applicable conditions. Do not activate a ticket as a test.

Using your ticket
Open the ticket on the intended first travel day: the email URL for LINKTIVITY, or Purchased Tickets & Reservations under my ticket for my route. Check the travellers and dates.
Select Activate only when beginning use. Activation removes the official pre-use refund option.
Connect to the internet, check that the live timer is working and show the screen and original passport at a staffed gate. Do not use a screenshot or an automatic gate.
Use eligible non-reserved seats within Fukuoka Wide. Show the active pass during onboard checks and tell staff your destination station.
Questions and answers
Can I travel using a screenshot of the ticket?
No. You must show the live ticket in its browser or app with an internet connection and working validity timer.
Can I take the Shinkansen from Hakata to Kokura?
No. That Sanyo Shinkansen section is excluded from Fukuoka Wide.
Does the pass cover the subway from Fukuoka Airport?
No. Subway travel is excluded; airport access by subway needs a separate ticket.
Can I use the two days on separate dates?
No. The pass is valid for two consecutive days.
Can one smartphone hold tickets for a family?
The official FAQ allows tickets for up to four people on one smartphone. A child ticket cannot be purchased on its own. Keep the ticket screen available for everyone’s checks rather than relying on screenshots.
