JR Kyushu
JR Kyushu operates the Kyūshū Shinkansen between Hakata and Kagoshima-Chūō. Its station timetables let you select a date, then a numbered train.
The company also operates the separate Nishi Kyūshū Shinkansen. For Nagasaki from Hakata, the onward high-speed section begins at Takeo-Onsen. The station-by-station edition here covers the Kagoshima corridor.
