The first train run of the ‘Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen,’ known as Kamome shinkansen, will be on September 23, 2022. JR Kyushu is finalizing the schedule as the surrounding areas would run large-scale tourism promotion programs in the same month. The day also falls on the first day of a three-day holiday.
