Nichirin
Japanese limited express train service
The Nichirin (にちりん) and Nichirin Sea Gaia (にちりんシーガイア) are limited express train services in Japan operated by JR Kyushu which run from Miyazaki Airport station to Oita. The Sea Gaia service continues on to Beppu and Hakata.
Prior to the opening of the completed Kyushu Shinkansen, the Dream Nichirin overnight train service ran from Hakata and Miyazaki Airport. It was discontinued along with the start of the revised timetable on March 12, 2011.
In 2013, JR Kyushu launched an excursion train, Seven Stars in Kyushu, which offers occasional overnight service to Miyazaki as part of a longer tour.
