Kitakyushu to Kyoto Trains

The Kitakyushu to Kyoto route primarily operates with the Shinkansen services, specifically the Mizuho and Sakura trains. The Mizuho Shinkansen is the fastest option, reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) and completing the journey in approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes, making only a few essential stops such as Kokura and Himeji. Meanwhile, the Sakura Shinkansen offers an alternative service that takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes, making additional stops at smaller stations, which may be more convenient for accessing local areas. Both trains offer comfortable seating options in Ordinary and Green class (Economy and First), alongside onboard amenities such as food and beverage services, ensuring passengers have a pleasant travel experience. While the Mizuho is the quickest choice for those prioritizing speed, the Sakura provides greater connectivity for travelers looking to explore more regional destinations along the route.
