The Fukuoka to Sanyo-Onoda route is primarily served by the Shinkansen, specifically the Mizuho and Sakura trains. The Mizuho train is the faster option, achieving speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), completing the journey in approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes with a limited number of stops. On the other hand, the Sakura train, which is slightly slower, reaches speeds of around 240 km/h (149 mph) and takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes to make the same trip, stopping at key cities such as Kurume and Yamaguchi along the way. Both train types offer reserved seating and onboard amenities to enhance the travel experience. Passengers can enjoy spacious seating and food service. The Mizuho is best for those prioritizing speed, while the Sakura allows for more regional exploration with its additional stops. For added comfort, Green Class is available on both trains, offering extended legroom and a quieter environment.
