Seven years since the start of operation of JR Kyushu "Nana Star" Special operation thanks to the region October 15, 19:06
It has been seven years since the luxury sleeper train "Nana Star" of JR Kyushu started operation in 15 days.
JR operates a special train that invites local people to express their gratitude for their continued hospitality.
"Nana Star", which travels around Kyushu, started operation on October 15, seven years ago, and people in the areas along the line have continued to entertain by seeing off trains and welcoming passengers. ..
JR Kyushu will invite local people to operate a special train to commemorate the 7th anniversary, and on the 15th, about 10 people from Hayato Station in Kirishima City to Kagoshima Chuo Station I left with.
Of these, Noriko Hidaka of Kirishima City, who has been waving flags at Hayato Station every week since the start of operation to entertain passengers, moved to the DX suite with the guidance of the crew and went to the sofa when riding with a friend. I sat down and stared at the furnishings in the room and took pictures with my friends.
Then, when I moved to the lounge car, I enjoyed the journey for about an hour, looking back at the people waving from the railway line and looking at the scenery of Kagoshima Bay and Sakurajima.
Mr. Hidaka said, "The furnishings are better than I had imagined, and I was happy to be in the room. I don't think I can sleep tonight. I was happy that I was waved from the railway line, so I will continue to welcome you. I will. "
