context_page_description: The 800 series is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type operated by Kyushu Railway Company on the Kyushu Shinkansen high-speed rail line. Built by Hitachi, the trains were introduced on the Tsubame services from March 2004.
  The 800 series has a maximum speed of 260 km/h in service, although its maximum design speed is 285 km/h. It was one of the two recipients of the 45th Laurel Prize awarded by the Japan Railfan Club in 2005.
  It abandoned the 700's "duckbill" nose in favor of a sharper nose. The livery is white, with a red stripe.
  Following the opening of the entire Kyushu Shinkansen route on 12 March 2011, 800 series trains were primarily used on all-stations Tsubame services operating mostly between Hakata and Kumamoto. They also operate some Sakura services within the Kyushu Shinkansen.
context_section_description: The Kyushu Shinkansen runs a large portion in tunnels. Designers paid special attention to the interior design of the 800 series to create a more pleasant travel experience. More traditional materials and design features are used to embody Kyushu's warm and natural environment.
  Persimmon tannin color is used for the walls, ancient lacquer for the doors, and Kyushu traditional rope curtain from Yatsushiroigusa for the lavatory are used. The seats are made of wood versus metal/plastic combinations from previous trains and the cushions are produced using Nishijin textiles. Window curtains are produced from prunus serrulata, and interior flooring is also made of wood.
  Seating is four abreast (2 by 2), with wheelchair-accessible seating and lavatory facilities in two of the six cars.
