When purchasing SUNQ Pass in Tokyo, there is a note saying Please buy the ticket to Kyushu concurrently or present the purchased ticket.
Can it be other than highway bus ticket (ie: Fukuoka _ Tokyo)?
Or what is the price if I missed the chance of buying the pass in Tokyo and wanted to get it in Kyushu? |
|
|
|

|
Is there any meaning behind “SUNQ Pass”? |
|
|
|
Sankyu (SUN-Q) is the combination of the sun (SUN) which represents the warm image of Kyushu and the 3 (“san” in Japanese) days validity while “Q” represents Kyushu’s first three alphabets, “Kyu”. Additionally, “Thank you” is pronounced as “Sankyu” by Japanese so it represents our heartfelt thanks to the users of this pass. |

No, there is no special discount for children and disabled passengers on the SUNQ Pass. |
