Vlakový lístok ARU RESSHA od JR Kyushu

Booked Aru Ressha via Klook and received the boarding coupon via email. Very convenient. On the day of travel, just showed the coupon to JR Train staff and waited on Platform. All the dishes were nicely presented and tasty. Service was friendly. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks could be ordered. Overall a very enjoyable experience

The train was gorgeous. It looks very vintage, the staff were very welcoming. We were only 4 during the trip (me and my fiancé and an older couple who was celebrating their 40+? 50+? anniversary). The staffs were super friendly, they also explain in english. They let us roam around the train and take pictures in car 1 (for group I think) since we were situated in car 2. The sights were so peaceful, so scenic. It was so fun and cute when we pass some stops and there were people waving flags and saying hi and “arigato” for taking the train (I think). It’s really expensive but if you’re going to take a shinkansen going back to Hakata or going to Yufuin/Beppu and wanted to try Japanese course meal, this would be worth your money. The drinks were unlimited (almost got drunk tbh hahaha). I love the desserts served. This was really an unforgettable experience especially if you’re a fan of trains.

Beautiful sightseeing train interior with intricate wood panels and excellent set menu served dish by dish, designed by Narisawa, a famous Michelin-star chef. We tried several alcohol and non-alcohol drinks. Train departed from Yufuin and is a small station so just arrive 10 minutes before. Show the “Final Itinerary” from Klook to station entrance staff to enter the platform. It was the highlight of our trip! The train staff helped store our luggages. We even bought a train model keychain and plum wine in a ceramic train model as souvenirs on board.

This experience was certainly a highlight for my trip to Fukuoka. It was wonderful enjoying the beautifully crafted train as it traversed through the countryside to Yufuin. The service by the staff onboard and the food were impeccable. Certainly a wonderful experience.

An unique experience, it was a relaxing ride in a train commuted between Hakata and Yufuin. Food and drink were good and the three hours ride past by quickly. Highly recommend!

The experience was great! The food served was really good. We took the train from yufuin and the only thing you need to bring is the voucher from klook. They gave unlimited drinks as well

actually can bring big luggage on board . yummy food and great hospitality. worth trying . free flow beverages !

To try something not common and within your means and budget, have a trip on this unique train from Fukuoka to Yufuin.

Such a memorable journey. The train is so beautiful, and the staff are so polite and helpful. The quality of the food is excellent, though it's using a lot of local ingredients that some of my party weren't familiar with, so there were some dishes they weren't as keen on. I think it would help if there were different meal options, particularly for those with allergies or intolerances (there is just one menu for everyone), or for younger people (my 20 year old nephew travelling with us doesn't have very mature tastes). The servings were generous enough for us all to be well fed by the end. All drinks are included. There are two seating areas - we did not specify when booking but we were placed in the open plan dining room (2nd pic) which was lovely, and some people were in these private tables with screens (5th pic)

Wonderful Hostesses and Artistically presented courses with accompanying flavour! Glad i booked this train.
