Kyushu Visit

Hi there!

Fukuoka from Hiroshima is pretty simple, but it does get harder to travel to the locations you list by public transport. I have a really involved recent converation covering both Kurokawa and Takachiho that goes into a lot of detail about the buses and trains needed to visit both these locations that I recommend you take a look at.

As an alternative to public transport, how about renting a car from Hakata/Fukuoka for your time in Kyushu? You'd look at around ¥4000-5000/day, which if you are travelling in a group could be an economical approach.

For hotels - well, it's always tricky! In Fukuoka I always liked the Plaza Hotel in Tenjin, but it'll really depend on budget/type of hotel you'd like to use. Kurokawa in particular has a very good website with all the Ryokan Onsen listed.

Hope this helps!
