JR Sanyo-Shikoku-Kyushu Rail Pass

Hi I am arriving OSAKA on 25Mar2015 and leaving FukuoKa on 31mar2015 and I read somewhere this pass is no longer selling from 31Mar2015. Am I still able to get this pass on arrival as I am travelling from Osaka-Hiroshima-Northern Fukuoka ?

Appreciate your advice.

Since you will be arriving on the 25th and sale of the pass ends in the evening of the 31st, you will still be able to buy it. Whether it would pay off for your particular itinerary is a different question.

Thank you for your advice.
alternatively what are the other JR pass that will served the purpose for :
a. 5 Days with following plan:
-- 1 Day from Osaka to Nara
-- 1 Day from Osaka to Hiroshima /Miyajima
-- 3 Day from Hiroshima to Fukuoka cover Saga/Nagasaki /Kamamoto/Oita

appreciate your input.
Thanks

I agree the pass could be of good value, and I can't think of a better valued pass.

However, I think it is very difficult to cover Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Saga, Kumamoto and Oita in three days.

I had been to Fukuoka may skip this time and selected places for those listed and yes may have to forgo one of the destination as may want to visit Sakura this time for half day.

I'd also say it's too packed for 3 days. If you need to trim something, then removing Saga is the sensible choice. Nothing against there, just that there are more interesting places elsewhere.
Fukuoka has a number of good places to see - many you may have missed since they just aren't on the tourist radar. The Nanzoin temple is mind-blowing and well worth a visit:

The Yusentei Garden as well as Rakusuien Gardens are also nice to visit and don't take up much time:

If you want to see cherry blossoms, Maizuru Park and Nishi Park are some of the best spots on Kyushu:

Look into a Fukuoka Tourist City Pass also:

Be sure to try the tonkotsu ramen at least once, and see the wooden Great Buddha:

In terms of history and varied points of interest, Nagasaki is really the most interesting city on the island. It is worth a couple days to see the city, and another day to see areas nearby like Shimabara/Unzen or whatever interests you. Gunkanjima, while it takes 3 hours, will blow your mind.

For Oita, the most famous places are Beppu and Yufuin for hot springs, although Beppu has more than that:

Kumamoto is famous for its castle, Suizenji Garden (a must-see), Mt. Aso and Kurokawa hot springs.

Note that you can't get to Kurokawa by rail.

Thank you so much for such packed information. Would study in details and plan my trip well.

Hi I read one of the web-site "http://jprail.com/travel-informations/other-rail-passes/rail-pass-for-..." and it stated as below.
Sanyo-Shikoku-Northern Kyushu ver.-This deal will be sold until February 28, 2015 and can be exchanged until June 30, 2015. On March 1, 2015, this deal will be discontinued.

Can anyone advice where can I get the official last date of purchase for such pass. The reason is on another web-site :" http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361_07.html" it stated as : The JR Sanyo-Shikoku-Kyushu Rail Pass will be discontinued on March 31, 2015.

I agree.

Choose two of the below
Oita
Kumamoto
Nagasaki
Arita

That's about all three days gives you. Inclusive of time taken to get there form honshu
