JR Kyushu's Sonic is an express train running from Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture to Oita via Beppu in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu.
The journey along Kyushu's north east coastline takes approximately two hours. A more scenic, though slower, inland route from Fukuoka to Beppu is on the Yufuin-no-Mori.
There are two types of Sonic Express: the white model 885 and the blue model 883 (pictured right). The Sonic trains have a top speed of 130 kph.
