KYUSHU RAILWAY COMPANY

What is the Choose KYUSHU Project?

While there are many attractive destinations all over the world, we want you to choose Kyushu, Japan.
This is because the “real Japan,” which can’t be enjoyed in urban areas, is alive and well there.

JAL are the wings of Japan and JR Kyushu runs across the land.
Kumamoto Airport acts as a hub linking these two transportation infrastructures, and is the gateway to the magnificent nature of Aso.
From the moment you come down from the sky to the train journey and the expansive beauty that can be found right outside the windows. We work together across boundaries to transform travel itself from a hassle to an exceptional experience.

In addition, utilizing the knowledge of the Kyushu Tourism Organization, which has a network that spans all throughout Kyushu, we have carefully selected experiences that are not included in guidebooks and that allow visitors to experience the breath of the region. ​

The name “Choose KYUSHU” reflects our two resolutions.
An experience worth choosing: Rich nature, hot springs, traditions, food, and people. Refining content that we can be proud of even by global standards. Create your own journey: Providing an environment where you can freely combine railways and air routes to create your own special journey.

A Japan that is unique to you, unlike anywhere else. It is with confidence that we suggest Kyushu. ​
We have the best options. All you have to do is choose Kyushu. ​
