You can probably spend three days in Northern Kyushu alone, that pass only costs Y7,000 per person.

I love our fellow flyertalk 'friends'. You all convinced me that it's not feasible to get to Fukuoka for late checkin by Shingansen from NRT on the same day of arrival. I have now listened to your sound advices and had booked the award flights for 2 with only 12000 miles RT each (from NRT to FUK). Well worth it.
Any suggestions on what (or how) to see or visit in Fukoaka?
