About Japan Transportation One-Way Ticket: JR Sanyo Shinkansen | Japan
Ride Japan's legendary Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Hakata in lightning-fast comfort, gliding through the heart of the Sanyo region at speeds up to 320 km/h. Skip the ticket counter chaos and secure your seat online so you can step aboard and enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, rolling countryside, and vibrant cities passing by your window.
Local Legends & Stories
The Sanyo Shinkansen opened in 1972, revolutionizing travel between Osaka and Kyushu and symbolizing Japan's postwar economic miracle. Legend has it that the sleek design of the train was inspired by the maglev concepts dreamed up by Japanese engineers who wanted to create a vehicle as smooth and silent as a gliding swallow.
Must Do Experiences

Savor a bento box from the in-train trolley or station platform vendors before boarding for an authentic rail dining experience
-
Explore the historic port city of Hakata (Fukuoka) at your destination, famous for its tonkotsu ramen and vibrant Nakasu district
-
Marvel at Mount Fuji rising above the landscape on clear days during the morning stretch of your journey
Hidden Gems
-
Stop at Okayama's Korakuen Garden — one of Japan's three great landscape gardens — if your itinerary allows a layover
-
Visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on the way, a profoundly moving UNESCO World Heritage site well worth a detour

Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience

Cultural Etiquette
