由布院視察: 鉄道アクセス Yufuin Visit: Rail Access

December 12, 2013: その他 Miscellaneous

博多駅を出発する「由布院の森」。特別なスタッフに注目。 Yufuin no Mori about to leave Hakata Station. Note the special staff.

由布院へ行く人には大分や福岡から電車、高速バス、高速道路など、様々な方法がある。今回は私が初めて訪ねるとの事で、せっかくだったからJR「由布院の森」と言う特別列車に乗って行きました。

戸倉上山田温泉の地元のしなの鉄道は来年度にイベント列車を購入する様に計画しているそうです。「由布院の森」など、九州の特徴的な電車は良い参考になると思いました。

Access to Yufuin, Japan's most popular onsen resort, is by freeway, highway bus or JR train from Oita City and/or Fukuoka City. Perhaps the most fitting is taking JR's Yufuin no Mori special train from Fukuoka, which is what I took.

Here in our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada, our local private train operator Shinano Railway is planning on introducing a special sightseeing train next fiscal year. I think Kyushu's special trains such as Yufuin no Mori would serve as a great example.

Pictured are some of Kyushu's unique trains.
