Product Description
──Help is here! Yufuin Forest II
[Actual vehicle introduction]
The Kiha 183-1000 series is a limited express diesel railcar introduced by JR Kyushu in 1988.
Based on the design of the JNR Kiha 183 series 500, the driver's cab was raised to the second floor at the front, the first floor was made into a streamlined observation room, and it was equipped with facilities for tourist express trains from the beginning, such as a buffet and children's entertainment facilities. In addition, the front was equipped with a double-headed coupler and a train control signal conversion device, allowing it to be coupled with a 485 series train for coordinated operation.
The Kiha 71 Yufuin no Mori train, introduced as a highlight for access to Yufuin, famous for its hot springs, was very well received, and since there was a demand for further expansion of transport capacity, the Kiha 183 1000 series, which had ceased operation as the Oranda Mura Limited Express, was converted to the Yufuin no Mori II train running from Hakata to Yufuin to Oita in 1992. For this purpose, compartments were installed, the observation room was made into a free space, and the paint was changed to match the Kiha 71.
In 1999, when the new Kiha 72 series [Yufuin no Mori III] was introduced, the Kiha 183 series ceased operation as part of the [Yufuin no Mori] series. Since then, the paint, interior, and route have been changed many times, and as of 2025, it runs between Kumamoto, Aso, and Miyaji as the limited express [Asoboi!].
