There is one through 'Tabito' train from Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) to Dazaifu in the morning but during the rest of the day these carriages run a shuttle service between Futsukaichi and Dazaifu which only takes 5-7 minutes. It may still be worth timing our trip to ride on this train at least in one direction.

It doesn't as far as I can see. If you check the timetable the last 'Tabito' arrives at Futsukaichi station at 15:20 on weekdays and 16:50 at weekends and on holidays. It must travel to Tenjin in the morning but not as an advertised passenger service. Some Googling in Japanese found that the train spends the night at Nishitetsu's maintenance base south of Futsukaichi.

I assume this is truly the custom, correct?

I had dinner many, many years ago with the Vice President of Makita USA at that time, (a power tool company we deal with) at a very high end Japanese restaurant in Anchorage. At the beginning of the dinner, Kasa Nishikawa announced that it was the custom at dinner to never let the cup of the person on your right go empty. He ordered Sake, which I had never had before and which I quickly grew very fond of. Needless to say, it was a very memorable dinner, although it lasted for several hours and most of us were in no shape to drive home.
I assume this is truly the custom, correct?
I assume this is truly the custom, correct?
In a more formal setting it is the host's responsibility to ensure the guests' cups don't go empty. In a setting like the one you describe (usually female) servers will do this on behalf of the host. What the Vice President suggested sounds like an innovative twist to the tradition but still in keeping with the custom of not pouring your own drink.
Forget the custom for an all-you-can-drink session at an izakaya! What you need is the ability to draw the servers' attention and to order your own drinks preferably in Japanese! (Bīru or beeru instead of beer!) Study the drinks menu I posted earlier.
