Looks like a great itinerary. You're lucky to have four weeks to explore. I hope there is flexibility in your plan so that you can adjust depending on how you find places.
if you're planning to hire a car, you might want to group some things together - You could use train from Fukuoka to Nagasaki, then rent a car from Nagasaki for the trip to Shimabara, and continue to drive through Saga, Kumamoto, Kagoshima, Mount Also and the Miyazaki coast. Then hand the car back in Kagoshima and do the island hopping (I'd rent a car on Yakushima - don't know about Amami Oshima). And I believe you can fly from Yakushima to Fukuoka for the flight back to HK. Just a thought.
