With the JR Kyushu Rail Pass
Travel all over the place

The JR Kyushu Rail Pass is divided into Northern Kyushu, Southern Kyushu, and All Kyushu. This is a pass that allows you to use JR trains (local trains, limited express trains, Kyushu Shinkansen, Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen) to travel in the Kyushu region of Japan. If you think about it, it is divided into 'Northern Kyushu, Southern Kyushu and All Kyushu' depending on which region you travel to. It works.

Since this pass is a JR Southern Kyushu Rail Pass that allows you to travel in the southern region, we will look at the Southern Kyushu Rail Pass in detail, including how to use it and the available routes!

How far can I go with the JR Southern Kyushu Rail Pass?

This pass allows you to take JR trains (local trains, limited express trains, Kyushu Shinkansen, Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen) from Miyazaki Airport and Miyazaki Station to Kagoshima, Kumamoto, and Oita.

Travel destinations that can be traveled with the JR Southern Kyushu Rail Pass are divided into Kumamoto, Oita, Kagoshima, and Miyazaki.

Kumamoto and Kagoshima, which are mainly travel destinations south of Fukuoka, are really pretty small cities, so sales of the Southern Kyushu Rail Pass tend to be high. In fact, just a round trip to Kagoshima costs more than the pass price, so unless there is a special case, you won't lose anything with this pass.

The three trains you can ride are those that run between Kumamoto and the southern Oita area.
1. Local train
2. Limited express train
3. Kyushu Shinkansen (Kumamoto – Kagoshima Chuo)

PS! Kumamoto is included in both the Northern Kyushu and Southern Kyushu Rail Passes. Let’s take note of this.
