In this video, we’ll introduce the JR Kyushu luxury sightseeing train “36+3.”

Our hosts rode the JR Kyushu 36+3 special express train!

Designed with the concept of “packing everything Kyushu into a single ride,” the 36+3 has five different routes for each day of the week running between Thursday and Monday.
This time, our hosts rode the Sunday route, which departs from Oita Station in Oita Prefecture bound for Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Each of the train’s carriages boast “green” first-class seating imbued with a dignified classiness.
There are “Green Carriages,” where you can take off your shoes and unwind on tatami-matted flooring, private “Green Rooms” to fully relax in comfort while on the move, and more.

The 4th “Lounge Car (Multi-purpose space)” carriage offers free space and hosts regular onboard events differing by season and route, along with other fun experiences showcasing the diverse charms of Kyushu.
In this video, our hosts were able to try eating “konpeito” Japanese sugar candy.

At the 3rd carriage buffet, passengers can savor the rich cuisine culture of Kyushu with bento boxes made from local ingredients, desserts, and a drinks menu featuring sake and more flaunting regional tastes.

The train also treats passengers to 15-minute stops in Oita Prefecture at Kitsuki Station, a castle town dubbed “Kyushu’s Little Kyoto,” and Nakatsu Station, famous for its karaage deep fried chicken.

While only short, each stopover is sure to leave lasting memories as you shop for local specialities and feel the warmth of locals.

The train will also stop for around 60 minutes at Mojiko Station in Fukuoka Prefecture, giving one plenty of free time to explore and try the local food at this charming port town bristling with nostalgic Taisho Era flair.

The next stop is at Kokura Station, which functions as the gateway to Kyushu, and has bullet train lines connecting much of Japan.
The final destination of Hakata Station also provides seamless access to Fukuoka Airport, which is considered one of the world’s most convenient airports for stress-free travel.

To thoroughly soak in your trip around Kyushu, we definitely recommend a ride on the JR Kyushu 36+3!
