Atami to Kyoto Train
Traveling from Atami to Kyoto is primarily serviced by the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, which features two main types of trains: the Hikari and the Kodama. The Hikari Shinkansen covers the distance in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, operating at speeds of up to 285 km/h (177 mph), providing a balance of speed and efficiency with limited stops. It typically stops at major stations like Nagoya and Shin-Osaka, making it a favorable choice for travelers wanting a direct but moderately fast experience.
On the other hand, the Kodama train, while being a slower option, takes about 3 hours and 40 minutes to reach Kyoto, making all stops along the route.
