Izumi is a rail hub in northern Kagoshima Prefecture on the Kyushu Shinkansen, giving the city a direct position on the high-speed corridor between Kagoshima-Chuo, Kumamoto, Hakata, and the Sanyo Shinkansen network. Izumi has one main passenger rail complex, Izumi Station, where JR Kyushu high-speed services meet regional trains operated by the Hisatsu Orange Railway. Trains from Izumi include Kyushu Shinkansen services operated by JR Kyushu, mainly Sakura and Tsubame services, plus regional Hisatsu Orange Railway trains running along the west coast of Kyushu. Izumi Station is the main train station for both high-speed and regional travel, so transfers between the two rail systems are handled within the same station area. Rail routes from Izumi run south toward Kagoshima-Chuo, north toward Kumamoto and Hakata, and along the regional coastal line toward Yatsushiro, Minamata, Akune, and Sendai. Shinkansen connections also link Izumi with longer intercity routes toward Fukuoka and the Kansai area via Hakata. Book trains from and to Izumi online at Rail Monsters.
