Operator-wide facts from JR Kyushu (Kyushu Railway Company)'s own pages; individual lines and stations can differ.
IC cards work only inside JR Kyushu's SUGOCA areas, not on the whole network. There are three separate areas: Fukuoka–Saga–Nagasaki–Ōita–Kumamoto, Kagoshima, and Miyazaki (JR Kyushu announced the date of the Miyazaki expansion on 8 December 2025); JR Kyushu shows the stations on its SUGOCA area route map. Outside these areas the card cannot be used, you cannot ride past the area edge or pay the excess there by card, and one trip cannot cross from one SUGOCA area to another. The stored-value balance cannot be used on the Kyushu or Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen. For trips that leave the area or connect to the Shinkansen, buy a ticket for the whole journey before boarding. The other nationwide cards (Suica, PASMO, ICOCA, Kitaca, TOICA, manaca, PiTaPa, Hayakaken, nimoca) are accepted in the SUGOCA areas under nationwide mutual use, per the card issuers' pages; the PASMO page notes a few lines do not take every card. Contactless credit card touch at JR Kyushu gates: not confirmed. P

Book help with boarding or wheelchair spaces by phone, online or at a staffed station; wheelchair-space bookings run from 10:00 one month before to two days before departure. At staffed stations staff guide you to the platform and help you on and off. Many stations are unstaffed: for help there, contact the line's booking point in advance (help available from first to last train). Smart Support Station lines (Kashii Line, Chikuhō Line Wakamatsu–Shin-Iriya, Ōita area, Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line Kōrimoto–Kiire) have their own support centres, e.g. Kashii Support Centre 0120-012-180. On the Kashii Line the train crew can help wheelchair users on and off at most stations even without advance notice. Tel. 0570-07-8787
