JR Kyushu will convert Car 6 of the sightseeing train “36 Plus 3” into private compartments and begin operation this autumn.
“36 Plus 3” is a train that tours the 7 prefectures of Japan’s Kyushu region over 5 days. In addition to the 6 existing Green Car private rooms in Car 3 for 1–2 passengers, 10 new Green Car private rooms will be created in Car 6. The current tatami-floored reclining seat area will be refurbished, with a flooring walkway and glass partitions dividing the interior, and each private room will feature seating with a different design. Due to this refurbishment, the train will be out of service from May 12 until autumn.
With the conversion of Car 6 into Green Car private compartments, the seat and lunch plan currently sold for some seats in Cars 5 and 6 will end with departures on May 11, and until then, a seat plan including a lunch box using ingredients from various parts of Kyushu will continue to be offered. Passengers who use the seat and lunch plan between February 26 and May 11 will receive one original furoshiki (traditional wrapping cloth). They will be given one of six types: the brown furoshiki that was used to wrap the lunch boxes when operations first began, or one of the current five colors, selecting a color different from that of the route on which they ride.
