List of JR Kyushu’s limited express trains

By ninjakotan

List of JR Kyushu’s limited express trains english   Following on from “List of local railways with less than 1,000 daily passengers,” we will be compiling a list of all express trains in Japan, from JR Hokkaido to JR Kyushu, in sequence.   The greatest pleasure of train travel is enjoying the scenery from the train window. In particular, express trains have long intervals between stations so that you can enjoy beautiful landscapes continuously for a long time. Travelers can enjoy the beautiful scenery because most limited express trains have seats for two people or box seats, unlike the long seats common on regular trains.   Eating and drinking are also easier on express trains, as they are two-seaters or box seats. It is a pleasure to eat “Ekiben (train lunch)” and drink sake (locally brewed sake), Japanese wine, or craft beer with a view of the countryside on train travel. You can never experience this pleasure when driving a rental car.   Limited express train stations are often relatively large towns, even in the countryside. It is fun for travelers to get off the train on the way and stroll the local shopping streets.   Furthermore, rail travel isread moreList of JR Kyushu’s limited express trains

Discussions with Yagantestudo Railway on attracting foreign tourists   Table of Contents 1：Discussions on attracting foreign tourists 2：Attractions of Yagan Railway 3：Nationalities of foreign visitors to tourist attractions near Yagan Railway     1：Discussions on attracting foreign tourists The other day, we discussed attracting foreign tourists to the area with Yagan Railway at its headquarters in Fujiwara, Nikko, Tochigi. Yagan Railway is a railway company that connects Shin-Fujiwara Station and Aizu Kogen Ozeguchi Station (operating distance of 30.7 km). The railway connects with Tobu Railway at Shin-Fujiwara Station and at Aizu Kogen-Ozeguchi Station with Aizu Railway. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Annual Report on Railway Statistics for 2019, only 1.7% of Yagan Railway’s passengers (based on transport distance) are commuter pass users. In other words, Yagan Railway relies on tourists. Attracting tourists is therefore essential. However, the number of tourists declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 onwards, and their recovery is an urgent issue. As we provide clothing rental and pre-trip concierge services for foreign tourists, we used various data to propose how we could help the Yagan Railway. First, we explained that there is a very high correlation (correlation coefficient of 72%)read moreDiscussions with Yagantestudo Railway on attracting foreign tourists
