Yufuin no Mori ゆふいんの森
Yufuin no Mori is the sightseeing train that brings passengers from Hakata to the beautiful towns, Yufuin and Beppu (on Yufuin no Mori 3 only), which are both the famous onsen towns in Oita Prefecture.

Yufuin no Mori runs two to three times a day, taking passengers into Yufuin from Hakata Station in Fukuoka. The journey takes about 2hours and 15mins to Yufuin, and longer to Beppu (on Yufuin no Mori 3 only). This train is covered by the JR Kyushu North Kyushu Pass and JR Kyushu All Pass. Reservation is a must to board onto this train (there are no non-reserved seats available on this train).

I walked pass many English articles or posts online before I reserved my tickets. Most of them weren’t as detailed as I thought (back then in 2023). So, I went on scrolling through Taiwanese blog posts and found the answers I wanted. So in this post, I will try my best to do as detail as I can, on which car seats or which car number to chop.
Bear in mind, my travel days were back in 2023. Things and terms and all might have changed but I think the train seats and setting won’t have big changes. LOL.
