Make the most of your summer break 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 scenery of mountains and seas is not to be missed. Each town, brimming with southern charm, also carries unique stories set against the backdrop of history—making every attraction hard to resist. Planning your itinerary by train offers exciting themes and a compact schedule. Especially with the distinctive style and high-quality execution of each sightseeing train, the journey itself becomes an unforgettable travel experience.

 

 

 

This is a train filled with myth and legend. Its pure white livery paired with Iwaki cedar creates a concept of a “gentle wooden toy-like train.” Riding the Umikaze Yamakaze, you’ll travel along the beautiful Nichinan Coast while the conductor vividly recounts the ancient mythology of this land—the tale of Umikaze and Yamakaze—which also gives the train its name. The interior follows an elegant and simple Japanese aesthetic. The conductor doesn’t just tell stories but also interacts with passengers through games. Since this train passes through popular tourist spots in Miyazaki, tickets—especially during peak season—can be hard to come by if you don’t book a month in advance.
