About Reservation service for the Yufuin-no-Mori green train and the red YUFU limited express train Transport Passes

Embark on a dreamlike journey through the lush landscapes of Kyushu aboard the iconic Yufuin-no-Mori or the vibrant YUFU limited express trains. This reservation service ensures a hassle-free booking experience, securing your seats for an unforgettable ride between Fukuoka and the charming hot spring town of Yufuin. Get ready to experience the perfect blend of nostalgic railway charm, breathtaking scenery, and exquisite onboard dining.

Local Legends & Stories

The Yufuin-no-Mori, which translates to 'Forest of Yufuin,' was designed to embody the relaxing, rustic charm of the famous hot spring resort it travels to. Since its debut in 1989, it has become a symbol of Kyushu's rich railway culture, turning the journey itself into a treasured part of the vacation.

Must Do Experiences

  • Pre-order and savor the exclusive Yufuin-no-Mori bento box featuring local Kyushu delicacies.

  • Head to the lounge car to enjoy panoramic views of the passing countryside and purchase exclusive train merchandise.

  • Capture a memorable photo with the train attendants holding the commemorative date board.

  • Indulge in the famous B-Speak roll cake, often available for purchase onboard the Yufuin-no-Mori.

Hidden Gems

  • The right side of the train (when heading towards Yufuin) often offers the best views of the stunning Jion-no-Taki waterfall.

  • Keep an eye out for friendly locals who often wave at the distinctive green train as it passes through their rural towns.

  • Visit the buffet counter early in the journey, as popular items like the seasonal parfaits and roll cakes sell out incredibly fast.

What Makes it Special

  • Features a classic, resort-style wooden interior that makes you feel like you've entered a magical forest from the moment you board.

  • Offers a seamless e-ticket system with a QR code for easy collection after a dedicated team secures your highly coveted seats.

  • Provides a choice between the luxurious, scenic Yufuin-no-Mori (green train) and the efficient, comfortable YUFU Limited Express (red train).

Available Facilities

Comfortable reserved seating Buffet/Café car Lounge space Restrooms Luggage storage areas Free Wi-Fi (on select trains)

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The journey is spectacular year-round, but autumn (November) is particularly breathtaking as the mountains along the route explode with vibrant red and gold foliage. Spring (April) is also highly recommended for mild weather and beautiful cherry blossoms dotting the Kyushu countryside.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Use a polarizing filter to reduce glare from the train windows when shooting the passing landscapes.

  • Wait for the train to navigate curves to capture the iconic green or red exterior of the train against the natural backdrop.

  • Don't miss the photo-op at Hakata or Yufuin Station before departure to capture the train's elegant vintage design.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Japanese train etiquette dictates speaking softly and keeping mobile phones on silent mode during the journey. When enjoying your bento box or snacks, be mindful of your space and properly dispose of your trash in the designated bins located at the end of each car.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • During the autumn foliage season, special announcements are often made as the train passes the most picturesque, colorful valleys.

  • In the summer, Yufuin hosts various lively festivals, making the train ride a festive prelude to the town's vibrant atmosphere.

  • Occasional seasonal menu changes in the buffet car feature limited-edition local sweets and drinks celebrating Kyushu's seasonal harvests.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Hold onto the handrails when moving through the train cars, especially when visiting the buffet car, as the train can sway unexpectedly.

  • Keep your luggage securely stored in the designated overhead racks or luggage areas to keep the aisles clear.

  • Arrive at the station at least 20-30 minutes before departure to ensure you have ample time to exchange your QR code for physical tickets.
