Közlekedés a városban: Szaga

Imádom a JR Pass kényelmét, mivel a Shinkansen segítségével minden érdekes helyet összeköt. Csak az a baj, hogy egyre drágább… a hírek szerint idén októberben ismét emelkedni fog az ára, szóval jobb, ha most használom ki 😂 A Klook egyszerűvé és kényelmessé tette a vásárlást. Kevesebb mint 5 nap alatt megkaptam a bérletet DHL-lel 👍🏻

Maximized this! 1st day of use : Bus from Tenjin to Beppu(¥3,250); local bus ride worth ¥170 per ride around Beppu . Day 2: Roundtrip bus from Beppu to Yufuin ¥1,880; local bus ride around Beppu; Day 3: Bus from Beppu to Tenjin (¥3,250); local bus ride in Tenjin and Hakata (¥150/ride); RT bus from Tenjin to Tosu Outlet ( ¥1,540). To note: To activate on the day of 1st day of use and should be in front of the ticketing staff so they can print the ticket(bus ride from Tenjin to Beppu). Same with days 2 and 3 activate the day use in front of the ticket staff or bus driver, they check the date: Local rides in Beppu, Yufuin, Tenjin and Hakata no need for reservation just get a small ticket upon entering the bus. Bus rides for Rountrip Beppu- Tenjin and Tenjin to Tosu premium outlets needs reservation ( you can do it online or bus terminal ticket office)

I used this pass to travel to Kurume and Kokura. I've been to Shimonoseki twice before, so I skipped it this time. Kurume wasn't actually in my plans, but a train happened to be there, so I just hopped on for a 'P's Trip' and searched online to see the giant Buddha statue. For reference, you can take bus number 31 or 35 (310 yen) from Kurume Station and walk for 5-10 minutes. Then, the next day, I went to Kokura to eat burdock root udon and go shopping at 2nd Street, lol. Fukuoka is expensive, so Kokura has more affordable brands. Especially Niko and... it's pretty and the vintage items are cheap, so I found some great deals. If you feel a barrier in Fukuoka, you can shop for various things in Kokura, lol. When you take the train, they come to check your ticket, so you have to turn it on and show it on the internet. Sonic trains have unreserved seats in cars 4-7...

THIS PASS WAS REALLY WORTH IT. I saved a lot even if I only used it for 4 days around the Kyushu area, then bullet train to Osaka, and finally getting to Universal Studios Japan. Redemption was fairly easy. Redeemed from Hakata station and the line was not too long. Despite being almost near closing time, they still accommodated me, and even assisted in booking tickets in advance. I was able to reserve seats on Two Stars 4047, which was one of the best sightseeing trains I experienced. Planning to go back to Kyushu, and will definitely use this again!!
