Sleeper Trains in Kagoshima
Because all sleeper trains from Tokyo and Kansai to Kyushu have been discontinued, traveling overnight to Kagoshima strictly by train could be a little difficult. Thankfully, trips are easier to make now that the Kyushu Shinkansen is fully operational.
From Tokyo, it is still possible to take an overnight train, the 10 PM Sunrise Seto/Sunrise Izumo, to Okayama where you can connect to a bullet train the next morning to continue the journey. With a Japan Rail Pass, a connection to a Hikari Rail Star at Okayama, followed by a transfer to a Sakura service in Fukuoka, will get you to Kagoshima just after 11 AM. Without a Rail Pass you can connect in Okayama to a Mizuho which runs directly to Kagoshima, arriving at around 9:45 AM.
Rail Pass holders must pay the lodging charge on the Tokyo-Okayama segment; the rest of the trip by Hikari and Sakura is covered under the pass. Lodging charges currently range from �9450 for a B solo to �10500 for a B single, to �16500 for an A single deluxe. If you really want to travel on the cheap side, �3660 gets you your own floor space... literally, you sleep on the floor.
