Aso Boy (Asu Boy), originally running on the JR express train from Hakata to Asu in Kyushu. The road from Kumamoto to Asu was damaged due to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake and was changed to run between Beppu and Asu. The full car is designated seat. Black puppy is its LOGO. There are 4 sections in the carriage, and the third section (Cargo3) is a parent-child carriage. The cafe, ocean ball pool and seal are all located in this section. A must-do JR train to Kyushu.
A special train in Kawaii. Fortunately, I booked the cutest carriage from Azu back to Oita. The exterior and interior of the train are cartoon style. Before arriving, the conductor also sent candy printed with the train pattern to take souvenir photos of passengers.
I can only say our experience was so-soWe took the Aso Boy on Monday, 5th February 2024, with a high expectation for a fun and exciting experience based on the advertised information on your company website in the "Enjoyment" section.Since we were traveling with 3 children, we were looking forward to spending the 3-hour trip in the following ways:* Having a cabin attendant by the Wood-Filled Pool;* reading through some of the book collections;* stamping and collecting the commemorative cards;* perhaps purchasing refreshments from the cafeteriaWe were quite disappointed that none of the above were opened as they were the main appeals as advertised on their website.Due to the difficulty in booking seats, after missing the booking for 4th February 2024, we purposely delayed our whole travel plan by a day to board this "special" train ride. If only we knew that none of these facilities were open, we would've sought other means of transportation instead.One highlight of this train was that the train master was attentive to young children and spent time teaching them origami, but other than this, the above-closed facilities brought disappointments that overshadowed the better parts of the experience.So make sure to double-check these fine details before booking/reservation.
阿苏男孩号车厢外面画满了各种姿态的小黑狗,与其说是列火车,不如说是一列移动的游乐场,调皮的小黑狗,霸占了阿苏男孩号的每一个角落。更加难能可贵的是乘务员的服务,耐心细致的陪着小孩子们游戏,无论他们来自哪个国家,无论他们说何种的语言。女儿和其他孩子们一起,陶醉于阿苏男孩号特有的氛围里。而家长则可以在小卖铺买杯咖啡悠闲的坐着,或是取一张纪念卡,然后敲个章以纪念这次难忘的旅行。如果你有小孩,可以去感受一下吧。
全车指定座席,最爱车180度景观车窗。其实九州的几个特色火车都很爱,无论喷涂,车厢设计还是餐饮,都很花心思。Aso Boy的票好像比较紧,最好一到九州就先选座。不要忘了在车上盖纪念图章哦。
需要预约的车次,必须要求指定席。如果没有指定席的车票,即便有座位也不能上车。因为2016年熊本地震,到阿苏火山的车次还是停运状态(2018年1月,我去的时候)阿苏小国的冰淇淋挺好吃的。有一节车厢专门给小朋友玩儿的,有专门人员照顾。车窗上还贴着小黑狗。
