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.

We traveled from Fukuoka to Kumamoto via the Shinkansen and stayed at The Blossom Hotel. First of all, the accessibility was excellent. Floors 1-8 housed Amu Plaza, and floors 9-12 were the hotel itself. Taking the elevator to the 6th floor, we found a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, McDonald's, and plenty of restaurants. Right next to the first-floor entrance was a Family Mart that was open until 11 p.m., and there were Yoshinoya, Mos Burger, and a variety of other food options. There were also plenty of yakitori restaurants open until around 11 p.m. in the Kumamoto Station shopping mall, and the tsukune (tareh) we had at Birdman, located behind Kumamoto Station, was the best. The tareh sauce was incredibly delicious. After wrapping up all our travels, we enjoyed a relaxing bath in the hotel's large public bath, and the Total Therapy on the 2nd floor of Amu Plaza even had a massage, which was perfect. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel was very clean. Breakfast is average, so I recommend trying the eel rice bowl or various bento boxes sold at the Kumamoto Station Shopping Mall. I'd definitely return.

This hotel has parking for self-driving guests. They have a partnership with a parking garage where entry is ¥1300 per day, payable directly to the garage staff! The 12th-floor public bath facilities are very complete, with facial cleansers provided. Remember to bring a towel to the public bath. The outdoor bath can be a little cold, so I chose to soak in the indoor bath! It's very suitable for families! It's also not far from Is Katsuretsutei, you can walk there!

Stayed at Sotetsu Grand Fresa Kumamoto for four nights and was very satisfied overall! The hotel's location is super convenient, within walking distance of the shopping streets in downtown Kumamoto. There are restaurants and convenience stores downstairs, making it easy to get around. It's also a short walk to Kumamoto Castle. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a simple and refreshing design. Although the space isn't large, the facilities are complete, and the bed is very comfortable, allowing you to get plenty of rest even after staying several nights. The bathroom has a typical Japanese design; small but complete, with a bathtub and a washlet, and the water pressure is also sufficient. Although the breakfast isn't particularly lavish, it features Kumamoto specialties such as Takana rice and pumpkin soup, as well as cute Kumamon packaging details, which makes you feel very considerate. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, conveniently located hotel with Kumamoto characteristics and a high cost-performance ratio, highly recommended for tourists or business travelers visiting Kumamoto!
