Rail travel on the Shinkansen is the most practical choice for this route. Atami does not have its own airport, making flights via Tokyo or Nagoya less efficient due to transfer times. Buses have lower fares but take significantly longer to reach Kyoto. The Shinkansen provides a direct city-center to city-center connection with high frequency, making it the primary choice for both leisure and business travel.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
