Digitalization and promotional efforts are expanding within the Kyushu transit and tourism sector. In late August 2026, Toyota Financial Service Co., Ltd. announced the launch of the ‘Tabi Meijin no Kyushu Mankitsu Kippu’ digital transit pass on the ‘my route’ application. This pass, part of the ‘Tourism MaaS Promotion Project’, allows travelers to combine services from JR Kyushu and 15 other operators across the region.

Following this, JR Kyushu initiated promotional activities at Kagoshima-Chuo Station to celebrate the 9th anniversary of its JR Kyupo app and introduce new membership tiers. The campaign includes incentives for app downloads, such as discount coupons, and community events like the ‘Norimono Ennichi’ festival for children.
