Highway bus to Kumamoto

Plan to travel to Fukuoka in May 2024.

Is there a direct bus connection between Fukuoka International Airport (or domestic airport) and Kumamoto? If so, what is the bus company and the website link?

Thank you.

Yes, there are buses roughly every 2 hours from both terminals:

(see page 29+ for airport bus timetables)

The operating companies are Nishitetsu and Sanko:

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Will check the website and if I have more questions, will contact you.

I was informed previously that I can take a bus to Kumamoto from Fukuoka International Airport on Nishitetsu bus company.

However, when I tried to make reservation on the Kyushu Highway Bus reservation site, the comment was 'no vacant seat to match with the condition'.

Does this mean that there are no more seats on the bus or any other reasons? Will I be able to get seats when I buy the tickets at the bus counter after arriving at Fukuoka airport?

Are there other websites where I can make seat reservation for buses?

Thank you.

Did you try a date more than on month in advance?

No. The date I chose is 19 May, 2024. This date is shown on the reservation site and I chose this for three psssengers. However, the above massage was shown.

Thank you.

which site? link?

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

The reservation website is as below:

https://global.atbus-de.com/route_lists/?locale=en

This was directed to me for reservation under the nishitetsu bus company website.

It seems the link you provided doesn't work (Of course I don't know the reason). By the way you don't need reservation for this bus.

78 (week day) or 87 (Sunday and Saturday) bus runs every day, every 10-30 min.

However there seems to be only 4 buses that stop at Fukuoka Airport (see the above pdf). If you are OK with these buses, just wait for the bus at the bus stop. If you are not go first to Tenjin or Hakata bus terminal to catch the bus.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply and also sharing the information on the buses. It is very helpful.
