Tosu

The nearest airport is Fukuoka, which is about 40 minutes away by car. By public transport, the easiest way to reach Tosu is to take the Subway two stops to Hakata, and change there to the JR line. Another good option is Saga Airport, which is quieter and slightly further away. Limousine taxis can be booked to Tosu, taking 1 hour 20 minutes and costing ¥1200; alternatively, take the bus to Saga Station and change there to the train to Tosu. Tosu Station stands at the junction of the JR Kagoshima and Nagasaki Main Lines. Shin-Tosu Station is the next stop along the Nagasaki Line, and also the city's station on the Kyūshū Shinkansen. All Sakura and Tsubame trains stop at Shin-Tosu. There are usually two trains per hour to each of Hakata and Kumamoto, of which at least one continues to Shin-Osaka and Kagoshima-Chūō....
