Help for northern Kyushu itinerary

Hi I need help for my kyushu free & easy trip in Nov.

3 days (Oita)
3 days (Beppu)
3 days (fukuoka)

Which JR pass or transport system is recommended to move around these places?

I'm not sure on how you are planning to reach Oita. But between Oita Airport and Beppu, there is a bus which takes about 40 mins and cost about 1500 yen one way.

Between Beppu and Fukuoka, there is a highway bus (2.5 hours, 3100 yen) or trains (about 2 hours, 5500 yen). If you are planning a return trip however, you can get train tickets for only 6000 yen (both ways).

Hi Taiakun, thank you for your reply. I have included more details here. I am arriving and departing from Fukuoka airport. I plan to use Hakata as my sightseeing base, 1st night in hakata, then take a JR train to Oita(3nights), thereafter Beppu(2nights) and lastly return to Hakata(2nights). Will JR pass northern kyushu be feasible during my planned itinerary? Should i get the 5D/3D pass? Hope someone can advise me:)

It sounds like the 6000 yen nimai kippu between Fukuoka and Beppu will be cheaper than the 9000 yen 5 day pass.

Local trains between Beppu and Oita cost only 270 yen one way.
