When does this pass suit your itinerary?

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.

Who can use it?

This pass is for travelers 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.

Prices and child fares

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.

Consecutive travel days

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 orders and the actual pass

An agency exchange order is not a ticket that you insert into an automatic gate. Collect the actual pass at a designated exchange location before traveling. A reserved-seat ticket is also separate from the actual pass.

Covered routes and exclusions

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.

Where to collect or exchange

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.

Reserved seats

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.

Service changes: check separately from the map

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.

Cancellations and refunds

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.

From purchase to boarding

  1. Choose your consecutive travel dates and routes. Check your passport’s Temporary Visitor evidence and the applicable child-age assessment date.

  2. Check the pass type, duration, traveler name and exchange deadline on the order you receive after purchase.

  3. Every traveler named on the exchange order should bring their original passport and order to a designated location that handles this pass.

  4. Confirm the start date when collecting the actual pass. Reserve required Ordinary Car seats at a counter or JR Kyushu reserved-seat machine.

  5. Insert the actual pass into the automatic gate and collect it afterwards. Do not insert the reserved-seat ticket for gate access; carry it for your reserved seat on the train.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the seven-day pass on separate dates?

No. It covers seven consecutive days from the start date; you cannot skip dates.

Can I take the Shinkansen from Hakata to Kokura?

No. That section is the Sanyo Shinkansen and is excluded. This pass’s Kyushu Shinkansen coverage is Hakata–Kagoshima-Chuo.

What should I check first when comparing Northern Kyushu?

Check whether you will travel south of Kumamoto and the exact trains you plan to take. All Kyushu includes the Kyushu Shinkansen as far as Kagoshima-Chuo; Northern Kyushu covers it only as far as Kumamoto.

Can I use the exchange order’s QR code at a ticket gate?

Exchange the order for the actual pass at a designated counter first. Insert the actual pass into the automatic gate and collect it afterwards.

Is the child’s age assessed at purchase or travel?

For an overseas-agency exchange order, use the age on the purchase date. For purchases in Kyushu or through JR’s official online service, use the age on the start date. Child passes are for ages 6–11.

Will the pass price be refunded if a train is full?

The official conditions do not recognise full trains and unavailable seats as grounds for a refund. Check the reservation availability for the trains you need in advance.
