Tosu to Kobe Train
Traveling from Tosu to Kobe, passengers can choose between the Limited Express train and local services.

This train can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and typically completes the journey in about 2 hours and 15 minutes with fewer stops compared to local trains, making it the preferred choice for those looking to save time.
In contrast, local services such as the Sanyo Line take longer, approximately 3 hours, due to more frequent stops at smaller stations along the route. While these local services may offer a chance to explore more towns, they do not match the speed of the Limited Express.
