Fukuoka 2 day pass and Subway system


Sometimes having JR isn’t enough. Every major city has additional transits systems and often times you can get a tourist’s pass. Japan had many companies offering 2-3 day passes. Additionally, most IC cards will work (my Suica card worked in Fukuoka), but I wanted to buy the 2 day pass for the pass itself.

Upon arriving to Hakata station, I went to the Fukuoka Subway office and got the 2 day subway pass. Local passes are useful since some of the stations are non JR.

Additionally, part of my journeys is to always experience the transit systems and use them as much as possible.

The pass cost 720 yen, I do a basic straight across exchange estimate of $7. Each station to station is usually 120 to 150 yen… so just going a few times will make it worth the pass. I was staying in Tenjin station, but it doesn’t have Shinkansen access, so I would have to take the subway to Hakata station, which again, makes it worth getting.

Fukuoka City Subway system

Since I was staying in Tenjin area, Tenjin station was nearby. It was also where I would use the subway system to get to Hashimoto station (Nanakuma Line) as well as going to Hakata station.
