Car No. 6, previously used as a tatami-style Green Car, has been converted into 10 private compartments for one or two passengers. The upgrade follows strong demand for private rooms already available in Car No. 3. Each new compartment features a unique design and includes access to a premium lunch service with meals, refreshments, and drinks. Launched in 2020, the train operates on five rotating routes around Kyushu, offering local cuisine, regional products, and station events that showcase the region\u2019s culture and attractions. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOJC041ZK0U6A600C2000000\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nikkei<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvq.co.jp\/news\/news.html?did=2026060400000004\" target=\"_blank\">TVQ News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fnn_36plus3-jr_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fnn_36plus3-jr_2026_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fnn_36plus3-jr_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fnn_36plus3-jr_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fnn_36plus3-jr_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Fukuoka Now<\/p>\n<p>Get Fukuoka and Kyushu\u2019s top stories delivered to your inbox.
