Coto Coto Train Fukuoka Luxurious and Fine Dining Rail Experience

Known as Japan’s slowest and most delicious luxury rail journey, the Coto Coto Train moves through the rural landscapes of Fukuoka at a relaxed 15–40 km/h, offering a refined blend of regional scenery, elegant design, and high-end dining. Designed by the creator of the Seven Stars in Kyushu, the train itself is a moving work of art.

Guests can enjoy an exclusive 5-course French–Japanese fusion menu curated by Chef Goh Fukuyama, owner of Goh in Fukuoka and a regular on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

The 3.5-hour journey follows a scenic loop on the Heisei Chikuho Railway, with stops including Nogata, Tagawaita, Kanada, Yusubaru, and Yukuhashi, featuring local activities, a market stop, and short breaks along the way.
