5 days JR Northern Kyushu Plan

My partner and I are traveling to Fukuoka late Feb 2026 heading into March, both landing and departing will be from Fukuoka.

We plan to utilize the 5 days JR Northern Kyushu Pass to explore with this current plan in mind:

  • Nagasaki – 2 nights
  • Kumamoto – 1 night
  • Beppu -2 nights (stop by Yufuin on the way from Kumamoto, no stay)
  • Back to Fukuoka after Beppu

Does this make sense or is there a better way to do this? Also, is it allowed to stop by Yufuin and travel for the day trip then board the JR train again to Beppu?
