All Kyushu Rail Pass: 3, 5 or 7 days, coverage and exchange

The official area includes Fukuoka · 福岡, Hakata Station · 博多駅, Kumamoto · 熊本, Kagoshima-Chuo Station · 鹿児島中央駅 and Nagasaki · 長崎. Check the eligible JR route between the places on your itinerary rather than assuming every railway in Kyushu is included.

Compare this pass if you plan to take JR trains from Fukuoka through Kumamoto to Kagoshima. If you stay in the north, compare the Northern Kyushu pass and individual ticket totals instead. Costs depend on the journeys and seats you actually use; the itinerary alone does not guarantee a saving.

This pass is for travellers living outside Japan who hold a non-Japanese passport and enter for sightseeing with Temporary Visitor status. Check the evidence in your original passport and carry it while using the pass.

Adults are aged 12 or over; children are aged 6–11. For an overseas-agency exchange order, the child’s age is assessed on the purchase date. For a pass bought in Kyushu or through JR’s official online service, it is assessed on the start date. The table gives the official agency/station JPY prices. Check official online discounts and any seller's displayed price separately.

Use the pass on consecutive dates from your chosen start date. For example, a three-day pass starting on 6 October covers 6, 7 and 8 October. Check the exchange deadline attached to your purchased product separately.

An agency voucher must be exchanged for the paper pass at a designated counter before boarding; it is not a ticket for the automatic gate. JR Kyushu says its agency voucher is valid for three months after issue, but check any separate deadline printed by the seller. Bring the exchange order and every traveller's original passport; photos and copies are not accepted. A reserved-seat ticket is separate from the pass.

The pass covers local and limited-express trains on specified JR Kyushu routes, including Shimonoseki, the Kyushu Shinkansen from Hakata to Kagoshima-Chuo, and the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen from Takeo-Onsen to Nagasaki. The Hakata–Kokura Shinkansen section is part of JR West’s San’yō Shinkansen and is not included.

JR Kyushu’s exchange counter in the first-floor Access Hall of Fukuoka Airport · 福岡空港 International Terminal is open 09:00–17:00. You can exchange an All Kyushu Rail Pass order for the actual pass there, but the counter does not handle new pass purchases, changes or refunds. If you exchange at a station instead, check that station’s pass-counter hours.

There is no limit on free Ordinary Car reserved-seat bookings with the All Kyushu pass. Reserve at a counter or JR Kyushu reserved-seat machine. A full train may have no seats available; Green Car requires separate charges.

As checked on October 7, 2026, the Kagoshima Main Line between Uto · 宇土 and Yatsushiro · 八代 is suspended through October 9, while Kumamoto · 熊本–Uto is running a reduced service. JR Kyushu expects Uto–Yatsushiro trains to resume with the first service on October 10, but weather or other conditions may change that date. The Hisatsu Line between Yatsushiro and Yoshimatsu · 吉松 is also under a long-term suspension. A line appearing on the official route map does not guarantee that trains are running on your travel day; check the operator’s current service notice.

For an agency order not yet exchanged, ask the seller about a refund. JR Kyushu does not refund agency exchange orders directly. For an actual pass already issued, ask the issuing JR counter by the day before its validity starts; official guidance specifies a fee of 10% of the JPY selling price. No refund is offered from the start date onwards. Check the selected seller option's cancellation conditions separately.
