from Fukuoka, hakata to Dogo onsen

how I can go from Fukuoka, hakata station to Do go onsen?

Actually I want to go to Naoshima too, but I have only 3 days.

I would to go Do go onsen from hakata station or Tenjin.

Maybe the best way is the bus?

Thank you!

You can:

1) Fly there; JAL has flights.

2) Take a train or bus. Very time consuming.

3) Take a ferry from Oita to Shikoku, and a train into Matsuyama.

Fukuoka has a lot of good sights to see though. See:

Dogo is a famous hot spring area, but there are other places there to see, such as the castle. See:

There are many ways to to to Matsuyama (where Dogo onsen is) from Hakata.

Navitime shows some routes

though only in Japanese.

There is also direct night bus.

again only in Japanese.

Although Dogo onsen and Matsuyama are nice places, but it is very big detour (in time or in budget). You might better consider other onsen places such as Futukaichi in Fukuoka or Yuda in Yamaguchi.

There is also an overnight ferry from Kitakyushu to Matsuyama. Here is the link to the Japan Guide to ferry routes:

Kokura Port is a short walk form Kokura Station, which has several direct trains from Hakata Station.

I hope this helps.

oh
thank you very very much for your help!
