Hi everyone! We will be travelling to kyushu next week and we got the JR Northern Kyushu pass. I have some questions regarding feasibility of our itinerary. I love riding in trains and the trains in kyushu are so beautiful. I’d like to visit different places and ride the different trains at the same time. Our base will be fukuoka but we will spend a night in nagasaki.
1. Is it possible to fit Yufuin & Beppu in one day?
-ride yufuin no mori from hakata station
-stop at yufuin
-visit lake kinrin & yufuin floral village
-go to beppu
-eat at jigoku mushi
-visit umi jigoku and kamado jigoku
-ride sonic back to hakata station
2. Is it possible to fit Kumamoto & Aso in one day?
-ride shinkansen to kumamoto
-ride aso boy going to aso station
-we’re still not sure where to go. I’m thinking of aso cuddly dominion. Or just explore nearby the station.
-go back to kumamoto
-lunch at sakura no baba josaien (i heard there’s a free shuttle from here to kumamoto castle)
-visit kumamoto castle
-ride shinkansen back to hakata station
3. Is it possible to squeeze huis ten bosch for half day?
-we will be spending a night in nagasaki. On our 2nd day, we will just be in nagasaki in the morning.
-megane bridge
-dejima
-lunch at chinatown
-ride shinkansen to takeo onsen
-ride train to huis ten bosch
-explore huis ten bosch
-i also kinda want to ride the seaside liner. Is that included in the JR pass?
-go back to hakata station
Please let me know if these are feasible or if it’s too packed. Any tips are also appreciated! Thank you!
