History
The Ariake service commenced on 1 October 1950, originally as a "Semi express" service operating between Шаблон:STN and Шаблон:STN.[1] From 1 October 1965, the train was upgraded to become an "Express" service, and was extended to run between Шаблон:STN and Kumamoto.[1] From 1 October 1967, the train was upgraded to become a "Limited express" service, running between Шаблон:STN and Nishi-Kagoshima (now Шаблон:STN).[1]
With the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen, the number of Ariake services gradually decreased.
On 12 February 2021, JR Kyushu announced the discontinuation of the Ariake. The last service operated on 12 March 2021. [2]
