Whats the cheapest way to travel between Tokyo and Fukuoka?
There’s cheapest (highway bus), and then there’s cheapest that’s humanly comfortable. As a tourist, you qualify for the Visit Japan Fare, so a round trip flight between Tokyo and Fukuoka is under 25,000 yen for you. You must purchase the ticket from a travel agency while still outside Japan for this. Also as a tourist, you qualify for the Japan Rail Pass. For 28,300 yen, you can ride almost all trains on the JR system for 7 days. This is probably the best bargain. Again, you must purchase the JR Pass from a travel agency while still outside Japan. If you’re already in Japan, you might as well just fly. With an advanced purchase, the even the fare on ANA is 26,200 yen round trip. It’s 22,320 yen one way on the shinkansen from Tokyo to Hakata.
