The Story Behind The Train
Your own experience completes this train
The 36+3 tourism train runs on five routes that differ depending on the day of the week around Kyushu, the 36th largest island in the world. Each of the five routes offers seven “episodes,” tourism highlights to enjoy in Kyushu, for a total of 35 episodes in all.
Car no. 4
Why is this train called “36+3”? Even though there are 35 episodes, we added one more, 36, which is the story of your own travels. The “+3” comes from our desire to provide the passengers with 1) surprise, 2) impression, and 3) happiness. This train can be ridden on a daily basis, and it is convenient for travel. We encourage you to create your own story on this train in Kyushu!
