A coach is the easy answer to Kyushu’s thin rural transport, and Takachiho is the prime case, since no train has run there since a 2005 typhoon wrecked the line. Huis Ten Bosch, the Dutch-themed resort near Sasebo, is the other common run from Hakata and Tenjin.
Ride the Minami Aso Railway, see Mount Aso and Kusasenri, then choose Kurokawa Onsen or Kumamoto Castle on this long Fukuoka day trip.
