What’s up with the JR Beetle?

Hi guys,

I’m planning to visit SK and Japan around September, and I would like to take the JR Beetle from Busan to Fukuoka.

The website states you can only book by phone for now, and online reservations will resume by mid-January (that’s now I guess?).

Does anyone have experience with the current state of the Beetle? Or is it better to opt for a flight between Busan and Fukuoka?

Thanks in advance!

  1. It’s simpler to take a flight at this point.

    JR Beetle is running limited operation right now with restricted access to the service, chiefly because of extreme staffing shortage, especially of foreign-language speaking staff.
