Would you like to run all the way to Ohori Park, or take the subway?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>100-Yen Bus<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Cheap as ever, this is probably the only form of public transportation in Japan whose price hasn\u2019t been affected by the economy or inflation in years. One 100-yen coin can take passengers on a single trip from Hakata Station all the way to Tenjin; perfectly routed to pass by Nakasu Island and Canal City.

In addition, there is a Northern Kyushu Rail Pass for those only interested in going as far south as Kumamoto and Oita. You can&#8217;t be a Japanese resident to purchase the ticket, and it is required that you bring your passport to purchase the JR Kyushu Pass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Fukuoka Tourist City Pass<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>With Uber and Lyft still fighting to make headway in Japanese cities, foreign tourists may find riding trains and buses preferable.
