For a family with children (elementary school age or younger), the Fami-chika ticket (¥1,000) covers up to 2 adults and any number of children on all subway lines for 1 day. The family must be within the second degree of kinship (including common-law partners). Adults alone or children alone cannot use it, and everyone travels the same route. You can buy a digital ticket in the “my route” travel app, or buy a paper ticket in cash at a station counter or the Customer Service Center (commuter pass counter), then show it to station staff at a staffed gate (Fukuoka City Subway “Fami-chika ticket”, Japanese).

For 1 adult and 1 elementary school child, the Family Pair ticket is ¥800 (buy it at a counter with both people; no refunds). The Elementary School 100-Yen Pass is ¥100 per elementary school child and is sold and valid only on weekends, holidays and summer, winter and spring school holidays. In those periods, an adult day ticket plus a 100-yen pass (¥740 in total) is cheaper than the Family Pair ticket (Fukuoka City Subway “Discount tickets”, Japanese).

5. FUKUOKA 1DAY PASS (¥2,980) for Dazaifu and Yanagawa

To use Nishitetsu trains and buses together in one day, the FUKUOKA 1DAY PASS is ¥2,980 for adults and ¥1,490 for children. It is valid on the Tenjin Omuta Line between Fukuoka (Tenjin) and Yanagawa, the Dazaifu Line and the Amagi Line, and on Nishitetsu regular route buses in the Fukuoka, Kurume, Saga and Chikuho areas. It is a scratch-off ticket: on the day you use it, scratch off the silver areas for the month and the day, one at a time, with a coin. It does not work at automatic ticket gates, so use a staffed gate, and take a numbered ticket on buses. On late-night buses, and when riding beyond the valid area, you pay the one-way fare separately. It is sold at stations along the lines such as Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station, the Tenjin commuter pass counter, Nishitetsu Tenjin Highway Bus Terminal, Hakata Bus Terminal, Fukuoka Airport Bus Terminal, the Tenjin Station Tourist Information Center, bus offices and others (Nishitetsu “FUKUOKA 1DAY PASS”, Japanese).
