Drive from Kurokawa to Fukuoka Airport 2011/5/25 23:21
We wanted to drive from Kurokawa to Fukuoka Airport. Unfortunately, we found out that the car rental outlet in Beppu do not have GPS with English language. We are afriad that we get lost and miss the flight. Needed advice.
1. Shall we return the car in Kurokawa and take the highway bus instead (we travel in group of 4).
2. Our flight is 5.50pm. If we drive, any places along the highway to Fukuoka that you'll suggest stopping by?
3. Any site that we can find out highway toll free information?

There are no rental car outlets around Kurokawa. There is a limited number of outlets around Mount, and many of them at Kumamoto Airport. But it is not too difficult to use a Japanese GPS system even if you don't read Japanese. Just move the map to the airport and click the goal button. Ask the rental car oulet staff which button to click in order to enter a new destination.

Our flight is 5.50pm. If we drive, any places along the highway to Fukuoka that you'll suggest stopping by?

Daizaifu could be visited along the way:

For the car GPS, you can enter Fukuoka Airport international terminal mapcode: 13-293-644 or its phone no.: 0924-32-3222

If you have time to spare, you can make an en-route stop at Daizaifu
