Train Travel
High-speed train service now links Kumamoto with Kagoshima, via a quick and easy change in Yatsushiro. The new Tsubame (Swallow) train is chic, posh, spacious, and uncrowded. Express trains making the popular run between Fukuoka and Nagasaki are jammed on weekends and holidays, so book at least a day ahead.
