Make the most of your summer vacation with a breathtaking train journey through Kyushu

When it comes to exploring Kyushu, a railway trip is definitely the top choice. The region’s picturesque landscapes of mountains and sea are not to be missed. Each town, big or small, exudes the warmth of the south while harboring unique stories shaped by history. Every attraction is hard to resist, so planning your itinerary around trains offers exciting themes and a tight schedule. Especially with the strong style of each sightseeing train and the high level of execution in their planning, the journey itself becomes an unforgettable experience.

 

 

 

This is a train filled with mythological legends. Its pure white paint combined with Iwaki cedar creates a concept of a “soft, wooden toy-like train.” Riding the Umisachi Yamasachi train, you’ll travel along the beautiful Nichinan Coast, where the conductor will vividly recount the ancient myth that took place in this land—the story of Umisachi Yamasachi, which also gives the train its name. The interior follows an elegant and simple Japanese style. The conductor doesn’t just tell stories but also interacts with passengers through games. Since this train runs through popular sightseeing spots in Miyazaki, tickets for Umisachi Yamasachi are in high demand. During peak seasons, it’s very difficult to book unless you reserve a month in advance.
