All Kyushu Rail Pass: 3, 5 or 7 days, prices, routes and reserved seats

Fukuoka · 福岡 / Hakata Station / Kumamoto · 熊本 / Kagoshima-Chuo Station / Nagasaki / Takeo-Onsen.

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 Trip.com’s displayed selling 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.

Exchange the order for a paper pass before boarding. Agency vouchers are valid for three months after issue under JR’s rules; your seller may specify a separate booking deadline. Bring the exchange order and every traveller’s original passport. Passport photographs and copies are not accepted. A reserved-seat ticket is separate from the pass.

For a purchase through JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS Online Booking, bring the special QR exchange order, every traveller’s original passport and the physical credit card used to pay. JR does not accept virtual cards for that purchase route or issue the tickets if the payment card is missing. An agency confirmation can use a reservation number instead of that QR format; follow its collection instructions. A code on an exchange order is not a QR boarding ticket.

Eligible local and limited-express trains on designated JR Kyushu routes, including Shimonoseki · 下関, are covered, along with the Kyushu Shinkansen between Hakata and Kagoshima-Chuo and the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen between Takeo-Onsen and Nagasaki. The Hakata–Kokura · 小倉 Shinkansen section is JR West’s Sanyo Shinkansen and is excluded.

Subways, non-JR railways, JR Kyushu buses and B&S Miyazaki buses are excluded. The pass also excludes Seven Stars in Kyushu, ARU RESSHA and KANPACHI/ICHIROKU. Green Car travel requires extra charges, and the pass does not give access to Green private compartments.

The JR Kyushu exchange counter in the Access Hall on the first floor of Fukuoka Airport · 福岡空港 International Terminal opens 09:00–17:00. It exchanges All Kyushu orders for actual passes, but does not handle new purchases, changes or refunds. If collecting at a station instead, check that station’s pass-processing 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.

Paid advance reservations through JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS Online Booking are separate KRP Option Tickets. The published per-section charge is JPY 1,500 for Design & Story sightseeing trains or JPY 1,000 for regular Shinkansen, limited-express and rapid trains; child charges are half. Availability and eligible agency vouchers are limited. The Green-only 36+3 has section-specific charges. Check that your actual voucher supports this service before booking.

As checked on 6 October 2026, the Kagoshima Main Line between Uto · 宇土 and Yatsushiro · 八代 is suspended through 9 October, with reopening scheduled from the first service on 10 October. Weather and other conditions may change that date. The Hisatsu Line between Yatsushiro and Yoshimatsu · 吉松 remains under a long-term suspension. A line appearing on a coverage map does not guarantee that trains are currently operating; check service information for your travel date.

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 Trip.com’s selected-option cancellation conditions separately.

Official JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS Online Booking purchases have a separate online refund route, a 23:00 deadline on the first valid day and a 10% fee. Once the actual pass has been issued at a JR counter, the issuing-counter procedure and day-before-start deadline described above apply. Paid KRP Option Tickets have their own departure-time deadlines and cancellation fees; cancelling a seat option is not the same as cancelling the pass.
