Cheaper and lots easier to book with Klook than official JR website. Got coupon instantly and can use to reserve seat online. Very convenient to exchange tickets. seat reservation process: JR kyushu websit

A rail pass allows you to travel throughout the regions of Japan. You can reserve your seat in advance before your travel date, allowing you to travel according to your plan. It's easy to redeem, delivered to your home, and you can exchange the exchange order at the airport immediately. It's convenient, fast, and problem-free.

The 2-day Kyushu SunQ Pass is a great value, allowing you to ride buses throughout northern Kyushu. Activate it by entering your email address; you'll receive a password via email. Use this password to unlock the code, which starts the activation. You can then use it to reserve buses to other cities.

Mobile JR pass is very convenient to use. Just show the phone to the train officer. no more paper pass. however sometimes the officer at the gate is busy. may need to wait in line for a while. The price for 2 days ¥3500 is a good deal. Highly recommend

This is a necessary ticket for city tours. The money can be paid for after the fourth ride. Moreover, the railway and tram can take you to various famous Kumamoto attractions. It is worth recommending. If I go to Kumamoto again, I will definitely buy this ticket.

This tour exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Ms. Ada Ou, ensured that my partner and I were always informed and comfortable, despite the language barrier with many of the other participants. Her explanations were clear, detailed, and consistently helpful. I experienced a wardrobe issue when my skort zipper broke, and Ms. Ada went above and beyond to assist me. She personally searched for a needle and thread and helped fix the problem, allowing me to continue the tour without stress. Her professionalism and dedication were truly exceptional. The destinations were equally impressive. Mt. Aso offered breathtaking views of an active volcano, and the fresh Aso milk and yogurt were delightful. Takachiho Gorge was a highlight, with stunning autumn foliage and picture-perfect scenery. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

This is a very good tour to take, makes exploring Kumamoto Castle and Mt Aso very easy. Mount Aso was spectacular. We were able to go to the crater observatory. Our guide Helen gave extensive description and background of each spot. She is fluent in English which makes communication very easy. Our driven Shinchan was very entertaining, yet professional. The bus ride was smooth and comfortable. They constantly updated us of the crater condition, as well as the travel time back. I highly recommend this tour for nature and history lovers. Thank you!
