Here is the perfect ticket for touring through Kyushu. You can ride on JR Kyushu’s Shinkansen (Bullet train) Tsubame and Sonic limited express trains as many times as you like, and get on and off any JR Kyushu train freely! Kyushu has many places to visit and see – the hot springs of Beppu, Mt. Aso in Kumamoto, and the stunning Sakurajima in Kagoshima.

How to obtain a Japan Rail Pass?
A JAPAN RAIL PASS can not be purchased inside Japan.
You must purchase an exchange order from an authorized sales office such as Kintetsu before you go to Japan. After you arrive in Japan, you turn in the exchange order to receive your Japan Rail Pass at an applicable JR station that has a Japan Rail Pass exchange office.

Who is eligible for a Regional Japan Rail Pass?
The regional Passes are available to travelers entering Japan on a non-Japanese passport with "Temporary Visitor" entry status.

It is very important to note that Japanese passport holders cannot use any of the regional passes; they can only use the standard Japan Rail Pass if they meet the overseas residence requirements. For a complete description of this limitation, please visit the official site.

How to make a reservation
Seat reservations can be made without additional charges; seat availability cannot be guaranteed otherwise. To make a reservation, apply at a TRAVEL SERVICE CENTER (View Plaza) or a reservation office (Modori-no-madoguchi) at a JR East station. There, show your pass, and obtain your reserved-seat ticket before boarding.

» Seat reservations cannot be made prior to exhanging your JR Pass in Japan.
