JR Sanyo-San no Passe da Área Norte de Kyushu

Este pase realmente valió la pena. Ahorré mucho, incluso si solo lo usé durante 4 días por la zona de Kyushu, luego el tren bala a Osaka y finalmente para llegar a Universal Studios Japan. Canjearlo fue bastante fácil. Lo canjeé en la estación de Hakata y la fila no era muy larga. A pesar de que era casi la hora de cierre, me atendieron y hasta me ayudaron a reservar boletos con anticipación. Pude reservar asientos en el Two Stars 4047, que fue uno de los mejores trenes turísticos que experimenté. ¡Planeo volver a Kyushu y definitivamente lo usaré de nuevo!

I found this incredibly useful for my two-week trip, which started in Osaka and ended in Fukuoka. I had accommodation in Osaka and made round trips to Hiroshima and Tottori. Then, I moved on to Kumamoto, Beppu, and Fukuoka to conclude my journey. Considering the itinerary, I was very satisfied with how affordably I was able to travel. It's similar to a subway pass without a QR code; you just reserve your seat at the booking counter and board, or you can board immediately in a non-reserved car without a reservation.

I'm not sure the benefits of getting it directly from JR vs Klook but they are the same price. At least you can earn Klook points if that's your jam. I got my JR pass thing in the mail and you go to the JR station and tell them when you want it active (ok the day of too). You can reserve seats at the JR station offices for more complicated places like Nagasaki as you'll need to transfer trains at least once. BTW it's literally a platform over and within like 3 minutes which is very easy. I was freaking out I would miss it but you're just exiting and moving to the adjacent train. If you're not sure if you'll get your value out of this pass, just google search JR train calculator. I used it for Fukuoka, Kumamoto, Nagaski, Hiroshima, Osaka.

I save 2/3 of my transportation cost, especially when using the Shinkansen, by using this pass. If you plan a multi-city trip for more than 7 days, I recommend this. You can base yourself in Fukuoka or Hiroshima and visit all other destinations from Kansai to northern Kyushu as day trips.

Este pase de tren fue extremadamente conveniente y de gran valor. Hizo que viajar por Kyushu, Hiroshima (incluso la isla de Miyajima), Kioto y las regiones cercanas fuera muy fácil, con viajes ilimitados en los trenes JR. La redención fue sencilla y el pase ayudó a ahorrar tiempo y costos de transporte. Muy recomendado para cualquiera que realice viajes por varias ciudades en Japón.

We used this JR pass to travel to 6 prefectures and were able to save a lot! We used this to ride the Huis Ten Bosch and Yufu trains (Yufuin no Mori was already sold out) and the Shinkansen going to Osaka and Hiroshima (from Hakata). Redemption at the JR ticket office was hassle-free. We also reserved seats with the help of the staff. Additionally, we also used the green machines to reserve seats. If you plan your trip strategically, you'd also be able to maximize this pass. Make sure to plan ahead so you'd know which trains to take and which seats to reserve. I'd say this pass was truly a lifesaver and I can't recommend it enough to those who will be traveling to the Kyushu, Chugoku, and Kansai regions.

Having this is very convenient since it is unlimited. Even if you ride the wrong JR lines, at least you have peace of mind that you can just ride another one without incurring additional charges. Finally, I was able to ride the Hello Kitty Shinkansen with the use of this pass!

Este pase es perfecto si quieres viajar entre Kansai y la zona norte de Kyushu. Lo usamos muchas veces desde Osaka a Okayama, a Hiroshima, a Fukuoka y hasta Kumamoto. También incluye el Hello Kitty Shinkansen, el One Piece Shinkansen, el Yufuin no Mori y otros trenes famosos. ¡Lo recomendamos totalmente!

Highly recommended if you intend to use public transport for your trip to Kyushu area. Unlimited ride on the Shinkansen and all JR trains/buses. Very easy to use and staff are very helpful. Would recommend.

We have fun using this pass! Our adventure starts from Hakata Station to Yufuin riding the Limited Train Yufuin No Mori then back to Hakata, with daily stops in Hiroshima, Osaka, Huis ten Bosch at Sasebo Nagasaki. The pass can also used by local train and ferry operated by JR Train.
