The Akashi to Mishima route is primarily served by the JR Tōkaidō Line and the Shinkansen. The fastest option, the Kodama Shinkansen, reaches speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph) and takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes for the journey, making a few stops along the way, including at notable cities such as Himeji and Shin-Kobe. In contrast, the Limited Express trains on the JR Tōkaidō Line will take around 2 hours, as they also provide service to intermediate stations like Nishi-Akashi and Ofuna, catering to local commuters. Both train types offer Ordinary and Green class seating, giving travelers flexibility in their choice of comfort. While the Kodama focuses on speed and efficiency, the Limited Express offers a more comprehensive service, accommodating passengers traveling to various regional destinations. Onboard amenities are available for both services, including refreshments and comfortable seating options.
