It would help to know where you enter and leave Japan. Fukuoka?

The ideal schedule would be as follows, based on the assumption that you can enter Japan through Okayama Airport (direct flights to Shanghai and Seoul) and leave through Okinawa Airport (direct flights to Shanghai, Seoul, Taipei and Manila):

Okayama - Kurashiki - Hiroshima - Fukuoka - Saga - Nagasaki - Huis Ten Bosch - Beppu - Miyazaki - Kagoshima - (airplane) - Okinawa

I recommedn at least 14 days for that itinerary! 12 days are not enough! And if leave and enter through Fukuoka, I recommend at least 16 days.

12-day Itinerary Around Kyushu Islands 2007/1/23 11:13
Am flying from UK via Singapore to Jpn. Wud u suggest enter Jpn thru Okinawa leave thru Okinawa or enter and leave thru Fukuoka which is the mid part of Kyushu and the internal via train. Can we use our passports to purchase Rail Pass when we are there - i read in the Kyushu Rail office mentioning we can purchase the 5-day etc when we enter Jpn but on other website said we must purchase thru our travel agent before entering Jpn.

Cud u also recommend some Ryokan or family stay at the above points of visit? However we can speak tourist Japanese but unable to reply. Wud this pose a problem for us? We love to experience the cultures.

Thanks for your advice again.

I am afraid, there are no direct flights between Okinawa and Singapore, I believe.

The only airport west of Osaka that has direct flights to Singapore is Fukuoka Airport.

It depends on the pass, as explained here:

The Kyushu Rail Pass can be purchased inside Kyushu and Narita Airport as mentioned here:
