Is the All Kyushu Pass worth it?

Worth it if
  • You want trains and buses on one ticket over a slow trip of up to 10 days, with the six days spread out instead of in a row.
  • You ride long legs on your train days: Hakata to Kagoshima (¥11,420 in a non-reserved seat), Kagoshima to Kumamoto (¥7,440) and Kumamoto back to Hakata (¥5,310) already come to ¥24,170.
  • You also need buses to bus-only places, such as Fukuoka to Kurokawa Onsen (¥4,000 each way by highway bus).
Skip it if
  • You mostly ride trains: the JR Kyushu Rail Pass (All Kyushu) costs ¥22,000 for 3 days and adds free reserved seats, so the bus and ferry days here cost you ¥15,000.
  • Your bus rides are short, such as Fukuoka to Yufuin (¥3,250) or Fukuoka to Nagasaki (¥2,900): buy those tickets singly.
  • You can't fit three train days and three bus days into 10 days.

Train fares are non-reserved seat fares, since the pass covers non-reserved seats only.

The All Kyushu Pass is a digital ticket from the Kyushu MaaS Council, a body that promotes public transport across the island, on sale since 1 November 2024. It bundles two passes in one: three days on JR Kyushu trains and three days on buses and some ferries.

How the days work

The six days are used one at a time, on any dates within 10 days of first use, the first day included. They need not run in a row, and a train day and a bus day can fall on the same date.

Trains

On a train day, the pass covers JR Kyushu's conventional lines, limited express trains, the Kyushu Shinkansen and the Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen. It is valid in non-reserved seats in standard cars only, and a few trains are excluded.

Buses and ferries

On a bus and ferry day, the pass covers highway buses and local buses throughout Kyushu, as well as in Shimonoseki and Nagato in neighboring Yamaguchi Prefecture, along with some ferry routes.

Where it is sold

The pass is sold online only, through the Kyushu MaaS app my route, the LINKTIVITY sales site and travel agencies partnered with LINKTIVITY. It is available in English, Korean and Chinese.

At Hey Japan!, we strive to keep the passes listed on our website as current as possible. However, operators may alter fares, coverage, or conditions without prior notice. Check official websites before buying.
