Omuta to Kobe Train
Traveling from Omuta to Kobe is serviced primarily by the Limited Express Yufu and the local trains that connect through the regional routes. The Limited Express Yufu can reach speeds of approximately 120 km/h (75 mph) and takes around 3 hours to cover the distance, making fewer stops than local services, which can extend the travel time significantly. This train operates between Omuta and Hakata (Fukuoka) before transferring to the Shinkansen to reach Kobe, ensuring a smoother and quicker ride with comfortable seating and basic amenities.
