Is the Fukuoka City & Dazaifu Liner Bus Tabito One-day Pass worth it?
- You go to Dazaifu on the Tabito and also ride buses around Fukuoka on the same day: Hakata to Dazaifu and back costs ¥1,600 in single fares, against ¥2,000 for the digital pass, so three or more city rides at ¥150 make it pay.
- You arrive at Fukuoka Airport International Terminal and go straight to Dazaifu (¥700), then on to Hakata (¥800) and around the city by bus.
- You only want Dazaifu and back: ¥1,600 on the Tabito is less than the pass, and the Nishitetsu train from Tenjin to Dazaifu costs ¥480 each way.
- You will stay in Fukuoka City all day: the Fukuoka City One-day Pass covers the same city buses for ¥1,200, or ¥1,100 as a 24-hour digital pass.
- You plan to ride the subway or the Airport Express to Tenjin, which this pass does not cover.
The paper pass costs ¥2,100; the cheaper ¥2,000 pass is bought in the my route app.

How to use it
The paper pass is a scratch card: scratch off the date you want to use it, before the expiry date printed on it. Take a numbered ticket when you get on. When you get off, put the numbered ticket in the fare box and show the pass to the driver. If you scratch the wrong date, an unused pass can be exchanged at a ticket counter.
The digital pass is cheaper and is bought in the my route app. Tap to start it when you want to use it; it then runs for 24 hours.
Since 1 October 2025 the Tabito has run as a fully cashless bus. It takes no cash, but it does accept this pass.
Before you buy
Anyone can buy it. The paper pass is sold at Nishitetsu Tenjin Highway Bus Terminal, Hakata Bus Terminal, Fukuoka Airport bus terminal, commuter pass offices and bus offices, but not on the bus.
Child fares are for ages 6 to 11. Each adult with the pass can bring one primary school child for free, and up to two children aged 1 to 5 ride free with each passenger.
Refunds: an unused paper pass can be refunded at a ticket counter for a fee, but not after its expiry date or once two or more dates are scratched. An unused digital pass can be refunded in the app for ¥110 each.
