  • Hi,
    Hiroshima is much closer to Fukuoka. As for day trips from Fukuoka, there are many. Especially is you have a rail pass, Kagoshima is just 90 minutes away by bullet train, and Sakurajima is a rare experience.
    Kumamoto is just 40 minutes away. Nagasaki is about 2 hours away and the most interesting and varied city on the island. Plus in Yamaguchi, the Akiyoshido Cave is mind blowing.

    You should not miss Fukuoka either - there are many nice parks, traditional gardens, and the Nanzoin Temple nearby is one of the finest in Japan - yet virtually unknown to even the well traveled.

    Nagoya is a very industrial city and among the big cities one of the most boring. Nearby though there is Inuyama and Meiji Mura.

    Plus Takayama is about 2 hours away and captures a lot of the old Japan.
    For skiing, Nagoya is far better since you are close to the Japan Alps.

  • May I know if i buy 7 day jr west pass can cover fukuoka to kagoshima, nagas aki, yamagchi, hiroshima and nagoya?
  • Hello, Aloy!

    There isn't actually a regional pass that covers both Honshu and anything past Fukuoka in Kyushu.

    Sounds like a job for the JR Pass.
