    Nice video. Does the Relay-Kamome trains have luggage racks? Thanks.

    Thank you, the Kamome shinkansen does have compartment for luggages but there are rules of how big and how many luggages you can carry to the train.

    @boukenrobin I am referring to the Relay-Kamome trains, not the Kamome Shinkansen. I was wondering if the Relay Kamome from Hakata to Takeo-Onsen has luggage racks. Thank you.

    ​@@88digitalelfpardon me, it's been a while and I didn't recall seeing a luggage racks or not. The worst case scenario is you search for empty seats at the non-reserved car where you can sit with your luggage beside you.

    Do you have to enter your reservation ticket or pass into the machine to enter each station?

    No need, just enter the main ticket, keep the seat reservation ticket if/when the officer needs to see it.

    When you pick up the physical ticket, you can only reserve the seat for a day itinerary at the counter. Does it matter which day? Maybe day 2 trip. If I want to reserve another days, like Day 1 or Day 3, I have to do it on the machine. If I reserve the seat for particular train, I miss it. Can I take another train? I am afraid I can’t take another train when I miss the reserve one.

    It doesn't matter which day and if you missed a train that you reserved, you can freely take next train with unreserved seat , the point of reservation is to secure a seat you want because in some cases the train might be full/ you must standing.

    The pass for 10 000 yen and only three days? You have to be in a rush for that. I wouldn't recommend it at all. I have traveled in Kyushu by bus, by ferry, by train, and always you need a lot more than just three days, it is like just wasting time and money for three days you see barely a bit of something. Kyushu deserves your whole vacation lump, You arrive to fukuoka, and visit the city thoroughly, then you head south, visit the classic spot, Nagasaki, but you must visit, Kumamoto, Beppu, and all the places around where there are onsen spots, then go south to see Amakuza, kagoshima and miyazaki. There is a LOT to see in Kyushu. Forget Osaka, forget Kyoto, you just be bumping with an army of tourists, taking pictures of each other. Kyushu is still a "remote" place, and you will be most of the time the only gaijin in sight.

    It used to be 10,000 yen, but now it’s 12,000 yen for the Northern Kyushu Pass. The benefit is that you can ride the Shinkansen and limited express trains with it. For reference, the Shinkansen to Kumamoto alone is 5,000 yen one way. I understand it might feel rushed for some, but if you just want to visit Kyushu’s main attractions like Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Oita, this pass is a suitable option.
