English
2 days
Unlock the beauty of Kyushu with our exclusive pass! Journey seamlessly through JR Kyushu's iconic routes, immerse in local charm, and skip the Shinkansen queues. Dive deep into Japan's hidden treasures. Get your pass now and let the adventure begin!

Who's It For?

This pass is crafted especially for global travelers who aren't Japanese citizens but are in Japan to experience its rich culture and scenic beauty.

Key Requirements:

  • You should have a passport originating from any country other than Japan.

  • Your primary residence is outside Japan, and you're currently exploring Japan on a short-term visitor visa.

Quick Tip:

When you touch down in Japan, it's vital to get a "temporary visitor" notation on your passport. If you're using an automatic entry gate, don't hesitate to ask airport staff for assistance in obtaining this mark. Remember, you need to fulfill both these conditions to enjoy our pass.

Usage Guidelines

  • Passport Presentation: While utilizing this pass, be prepared to present your passport to train conductors upon request.

  • Train Usage: This pass exclusively covers non-reserved seats on Limited Express and Local trains operated by JR Kyushu within specified zones. Note: Kyushu Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen are exceptions.

  • Outside of JR: Transportation modes like Fukuoka city subway, Kitakyushu monorail, etc., are not covered under this pass.

  • Upgrades: Should you opt for a Reserved seat or Green car, additional charges apply.

  • Zone Limits: Traveling outside the designated zones with this pass will result in additional fees. Ensure you're within the allowed area to avoid extra charges.

Understanding Refund Policies

  • If you've had a change of plans, here's when you can expect a refund:

  • If it's quite clear you haven't used the pass yet.

  • As long as you ask for your money back before the day you planned to travel.

  • However, keep in mind that we'll hold back 10% of the pass value (in Japanese yen) for administrative reasons, and you'll receive the rest.

  • If you're wondering where to go for a refund, these stations can help:

  • JR Kyushu Hakata

  • JR Kyushu Kokura

  • Mojikō

  • A heads-up: We can't replace the pass if it gets lost or if someone takes it.

  • Unfortunately, no refunds are available post-travel commencement.
