My wife and I are planning a road trip in Kyushu during the last week of November. We plan to pick up a car at Beppu onsen and drop it off somewhere on the west side of the island. I’d like to eventually fly out of Fukuoka, but I’ve read mixed reviews about driving there for someone who has never driven there before. While I have driving experience in the US, I’m concerned about driving in Fukuoka.
Someone suggested dropping off the car in Kumamoto and taking a 40-minute Shinkansen to Fukuoka, but I'm unsure if it's worth the extra effort.
Can someone please help weigh the inconvenience of driving in Fukuoka against the inconvenience of dropping off in Kumamoto and taking the Shinkansen.
Thank you 🙏🏻
