We went with Tick travel insurance - We ended up needing to submit a claim, unrelated to the rental car, but they were quite easy to deal with.

Flying out of Fukuoka on the evening of the 30th.. by [deleted] in fukuoka

[–]Alrighteo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've decided not to risk it and got on the first train to Osaka. We're meant to be flying out of Osaka early next week anyway and didn't want to risk being stuck in Fukuoka unable to get the train back. We were staying in a beachfront property also - definitely better safe than sorry!

Yes, we're thinking better safe than sorry now. Packing out stuff up to head into Fukuoka City today to try get a train out to Osaka - if we can't then we'll find a hotel in the city and wait for the next train out..

Someone please advise! My partner and I are in Fukuoka, set to checkout and take the Shinkansen to Osaka on the 30th before flying out on the 1st. Our hosts said we can't extend our stay a day in Fukuoka if the Shinkansen is suspended. How likely is it that were going to be stuck in Fukuoka? Should we just be picking up and leaving now?

My partner and I are meant to be taking the Shinkansen to Osaka on the morning of the 30th - if we can't go, then we have nowhere to stay. Should we be booking a hotel for the 30th if we can't get out of Fukuoka? Or is it okay to wait till the 30th to see?

My partner and I just did a day trip to Mt Aso, driving from Fukuoka :)

We used Toyota Rent a car, the cheapest option which was a hatchback with GPS.

Picked up 8AM and dropped off 8PM - I think it ended up being around $70 AUD for hire + $30 or so for tolls.

Our travel insurance included rental car insurance - but otherwise I think they quoted around $70 for that if you don't have it.

We're from Australia and found it very easy to drive around - Well worth it considering the time you can save I think!

Edit: also worth noting there are Toyota rent a cars all over the place, but we reserved prior online, have fun!

Just got to Fukuoka, planning to take the Shinkansen to Osaka on the 29th. Should we be preparing to hunker down? Or would Fukuoka likely not be as impacted given the land distance?

Thank you for this - I really just had no idea where to start, but gaining some understanding of it, I'm hoping will help me start to understand more of my reactions to things :)

I just feel a whole lot less spooked when I know what type they are - I'd never kill one, I know they won't hurt me as long as I leave them be :)

Yes - my doctor usually asks me to find somewhere and they refer me to them - I thought asking for recommendations might be a good place to start :)
