Kyushu dilemma in mid july

Would like to consult experts.

I am not so worried about earthquakes but only concerned with latest updates of transportation and whether it is worth to go Kumamoto etc.

Anyone happen to have the latest bus time table ?

From Beppu i am taking train to Nobeoka .

as mentioned and suggested in the thread-

Day trip to Kuju ( is it still possible to go ?) any latest bus time table?

next day from Nobeoka take bus to Takachiho gorge then take bus to kumamoto . Any latest time table ?

overnight Kumamoto then next day to kagoshima

OR

Totally skip kumamoto ?

Take a day trip to Takachiho gorge and overnight at Nobeoka .

Next day straight to Kagoshima by train by transfer and extend one more night at Kagoshima . Skip Kumamoto

tried to find the latest timetable coz i read there are new routes- but not very sure as I do not read Japanese.

Thanks for all help rendered!

I don't see a dilemma. Japan has gone through many earthquakes and they quickly get back onto their feet. The emotional scars may take longer to heal. The Kumamoto earthquake was a long time ago in the scheme of things.

Most of the buses are running as normal. Some are slightly different timetables due to road closures. But that is mainly due to the buses going on detours that add 10-15 minutes.

Kumamoto has the castle inaccessible currently. So you need to decide if the other attractions in Kumamoto still interest you.

Trans Kyushu bus. There is some changes.
