BESTI used it well during my trip from Osaka to Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Okayama, and Takamatsu.
From Fukuoka to Osaka and Kyoto
JR Setouchi Pass
Because transportation costs in Japan are so expensive, it is very important which transportation pass you purchase. The pass introduced today, the JR Setouchi Pass, allows you to travel to Fukuoka, Osaka, and Kyoto with one ticket.
There are two passes for traveling from Fukuoka to Osaka: the JR West Pass and the Sanyo-Sanin Pass. What makes the Setouchi Pass more attractive is that it allows you to travel from Fukuoka Hakata Station to Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and Arashiyama.
