The Naha (なは) was a sleeper train service operated in Japan by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu), which ran from Kyoto to Kumamoto, passing through Osaka, Okayama, Kokura, and Hakata. It once extended to Nishi-Kagoshima. The journey between Kyoto and Kumamoto was 801.4 kilometers (498.0 mi) and took approximately 11+1⁄2 hours.
The Naha was coupled to the Akatsuki between Kyoto Station and Tosu Station.
Due to falling passenger numbers, both the Naha and Akatsuki services ceased following the March 15, 2008, timetable revision.
