Sonic Express at Beppu Station

The journey along Kyushu's north east coastline takes approximately 2 hours. A more scenic, though slower, inland route from Fukuoka to Beppu is the Yufuin-no-Mori.

There are two types of Sonic Express: the white model 885 and the blue model 883 (pictured). The trains have a top speed of 130kph.
